Ask a collector which Pro Elite generation matters most and the answer is usually 2019 — and the reason is not a medal table. It is what Nike race kit did on the roads that year, most of it inside eleven weeks of autumn: a world record for the half marathon, a marathon two seconds off the world record, a women's marathon record by eighty-one seconds, a world 10 km record, and a man covering the distance in under two hours.
It started in April: Eliud Kipchoge won London in 2:02:37, then the second-fastest marathon ever run. The autumn began in Copenhagen on 15 September, when Geoffrey Kamworor took the half marathon world record to 58:01. Two weeks later Kenenisa Bekele won Berlin in 2:01:41, two seconds outside Kipchoge's record, with a 34-year-old's second half. Then Vienna, 12 October: on a closed loop in the Prater, behind a rotating phalanx of pacers, Kipchoge ran 1:59:40.
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.
