Nike Unveils Advanced Aero-FIT Kits, Air Milano Jacket for 2026 Olympics

Nike has unveiled a series of innovative products highlighting its renewed focus on performance, sustainability, and athlete-centered design under CEO Elliott Hill. Central to the launch is the Aero-FIT technology, which doubles ventilation to help athletes stay cool and dry, debuting in Nike's 2026 World Cup football kits and crafted entirely from recycled textile waste. Complementing this is the Therma-FIT Air Milano jacket, which features inflatable air insulation allowing athletes to regulate warmth in real time, set to debut at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Nike also introduced Project Amplify, a powered footwear system that enhances movement using robotics, and Nike Mind, footwear designed to foster a mind-body connection through sensory feedback. These innovations reflect Nike's broader strategy to integrate advanced technology, sustainability, and holistic athlete preparation, combining apparel, footwear, and mental performance tools. The company has consolidated its innovation efforts across Nike, Jordan, and Converse brands to create an "athlete-focused creation engine," signaling a bold commitment to pushing the boundaries of athletic gear.
