Spring showers are no reason to avoid going out for a run. The Better Than Naked jacket by The North Face is the best way to “face” the elements.
Super lightweight, the Better Than Naked jacket ($102) provides breathability above all. Carefully located openings ensure that perspiration and moisture are released. Body-mapped ventilation extends from under the arms up to the back, where men sweat the most during exercise. In spite of its breathability, rain and snow stay safely on the outside thanks to a durable water repellent treatment.

In a world’s first, Nike has unveiled a shoe that incorporates 3D-printed components. The Nike Vapor Laser Talon football cleats boast a bottom plate crafted using Selective Laser Sintering. The black and green plate boasts a unique design that allows the plate to be fully functional and durable while weighing a fraction of what a traditional plate does. Weighing just 5.6 oz, the lightweight cleats also boasts Flywire construction and a barely-there synthetic upper. Designed for this year’s football players as they take to the 40-yard dash in the Combine before hitting the fields, this example of form-follows-function should prove to be quite a blur when it finally gets some action.

Wearing hot pink coloring inspired by the Nike Flyknit Lunar1+, the revolutionary Flyknit material is constructed from precisely engineered single threads of yarn, providing a sock-like fit that’s both lightweight and virtually seamless. The upper sits on a Zoom Victory spike plate equipped with a custom carbon shank, good for superior snap and response on the track.

If you thought that it only took a solid pair of sneakers to make for a good run, not only would be left behind in the dust, you’d look bad doing it. As experienced runners know, what you decide to wear during your training can make or break your time out there, which is why Nike Running takes it to the next level with their Spring 2013 Women’s Apparel Collection. Accounting for the fact that Spring doesn’t just mean sunny skies, each piece in this collection uses 3D fabric to help create a naturally warming space between you and the clothing without any of the extra bulk or drag other brands offer with their gear. The new technology, which Nike calls Sphere, can be found all of the different styles of pieces, including the jackets, training pants, tees, and hoodie.

Nike continues to work with Jun Takahashi and Undercover on their collaborative Gyakusou running collection. Innovation, technology and design meet in this special partnership, that we have fallen in love with the very first season it started a couple of years ago. Today we can show you the new Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.
“In Rio de Janeiro, where summer temperatures exceed 104 degrees, Gyakusou runners battle the heat as they fly along the Brazilian city’s colorful streets, through its verdant tropical parks, and past legendary landmarks and lagoons. Uniting this transcendent state of concentration and contemplation with amplifying adrenaline, they achieve a state of Zen, enabled by their weather-combative equipment.
A signature fusion of function and utility, the Nike x Undercover Gyakusou S/S 2013 collection infuses Jun Takahashi’s less but better design philosophy with the latest Nike innovations to present a technologically advanced line. Designed specifically to address the cooling requirements of summer runners in Brazil and worldwide, it employs unlined, breathable, and supremely lightweight materials from head to toe, providing avid athletes with the ability to pursue their passion despite sweltering conditions. The collection’s trademark color palette speaks to Takahashi’s urban-rural accord with subtle city tones and natural hues, which are popped this season by bright Mesa orange, lush Victory green, and fuchsia Sangria pink, reflecting the renowned vibrancy of Rio landscapes.”
The new Nike x Undercover Gyakusou Spring/Summer 2013 Collection launches at select retailers March 2nd, 2013.
