The Build-Up Years

Between 2014 and 2017 Nike's athlete channel was quietly rebuilding itself. The business came first: in April 2014 USATF and Nike extended their partnership — running since 1991 — all the way to 2040, a deal ESPN valued at up to half a billion dollars. Six weeks later, at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene on 30 May, Galen Rupp of the Oregon Project ran 26:44.36 for 10,000 m, an American record set at Nike's own meeting. And a Nike marathoner the sport would soon organise itself around won Rotterdam in April (2:05:00) and Chicago in October (2:04:11): Eliud Kipchoge, two years into the distance.

Kipchoge's ramp runs through the whole cycle. London 2015 in 2:04:42; then Berlin that September in 2:04:00 with the neon insoles of a Nike prototype flapping at his ankles from the 20-kilometre mark — sixty-three seconds off the world record, and an apology from the brand about a sockliner that had not worked.

The smallest piece in the kit

Competition briefs — race briefs, or “bun huggers” — are the snug, minimalist bottom half of the classic two-piece athletics kit, worn with a crop top or singlet by sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers for full hip movement with zero loose fabric.

No rule mandates them: World Athletics TR5 names no garment at all. The brief earned the start line on fit through the 1980s, survived a real argument about who decides what women race in, and remains the choice of most championship sprinters today.

Mandated by rule?
No — World Athletics TR5 names no garment; the choice is the athlete's
Fabric
Four-way-stretch blends; verified: 57/43 nylon-elastane, 195 g/m²
The era
Brief styles popularized in the 1980s; Flo-Jo made them famous in 1988
