Every cycle has a headline athlete; 2023's wrote hers in seven weeks. Between 2 June and 21 July, Faith Kipyegon — a Nike athlete since her teens — broke three world records in 49 days, all of them at Diamond League meetings in her own race kit: Florence, Paris, Monaco. In September she closed the circuit by winning the Diamond League final in Eugene in 3:50.72.
The roads belonged to a 23-year-old in Nike shoes. On 23 April Kelvin Kiptum won London in 2:01:25, a course record sixteen seconds outside the world record, with Geoffrey Kamworor of the NN Running Team second in 2:04:23; the same morning Sifan Hassan — Nike — won her marathon debut in 2:18:33 after stopping to stretch a leg at the hour mark.
Arm sleeves are removable knit tubes from bicep to wrist that give runners adjustable warmth at cool starts, UPF sun protection, light compression and — worn singly — a sprint signature. They are the most modular piece in the race kit.
Their origin is basketball: Allen Iverson's trainer cut a compression stockinette for his elbow in January 2001, Iverson scored 51 that night, and the sleeve became a league staple before crossing to marathon start lines and single-armed sprinters.
