Gear: Why we’re obsessed with the Nike Breathe running top this summer

If summer running has you feeling hot and sticky, the Nike Breathe top is likely to zap the sweat.

The dog days of summer are still here. If your runs have been making you rather soggy, it’s not too late to invest in breezy attire. Pumping up the mileage for the fall half-marathon? Do so comfortably – and in style. This season, we’ve fallen in love with Nike’s Breathe running shirt. Why? It’s airy, it’s impressively light, it keeps us comfortable while running, and the back cut-out is super cool.

We’re liking that this item isn’t too fitted and yet, when running in this top, it doesn’t create any drag either. The fabric is lighter than a feather which really raises the bar for what we expect from active-wear that advertises being breezy and weightless. 

Nike offers this with or without the Oregon Project graphic so if plain and simple is more your style, that’s an option too. The back cut-outs also prove that there’s always room for updating classic designs. We’re kind of obsessed with this shirt (we’re running in two this season…). With cool swag like this, there’s no excuse for dressing boring on the run. It currently retails online for $51.97.
