Tempo clothing

Nike’s running apparel has long been known for providing lightweight support and comfort to athletes of all kinds and abilities. Since the 1990s, these offerings have become ever more sophisticated thanks to new materials and intelligent design. The Nike Tempo series emerged during this era as a collection of innovative performance garments for female runners.

When the Nike Tempo first launched, it was the 2004 running shorts that really stood out. Lightweight and supportive, they featured curved side panels with sweat-wicking mesh that delivered cooling comfort and unrestricted movement. The Tempo shorts were a landmark product in female sportswear, and remain one of the most popular items amongst all of Nike’s running apparel.

Building on this heritage, the modern Nike Tempo collection includes a range of clothing optimised for smooth, confident running over various distances. Alongside the shorts, which now incorporate a supportive brief-liner with soft, chafe-reducing seams and a secure elastic waistband, there are stretchy leggings with ventilation panels on the lower legs, trousers made of smooth woven fabric, a tank top with a built-in, mesh-lined sports bra for snug comfort, and a top whose tailored waist incorporates minimal seams that reduce rubbing.

The Tempo series also provides for those running in more challenging conditions with options such as the warm running vest, with its lightweight insulation and minimalist collar, and the Repel running jacket, whose bungee-cord hood can be pulled tight around the head in harsh weather. Both are water-repellent and, like the rest of the collection, display practical reflective detailing. Other common Tempo features include Dri-FIT technology which effectively removes sweat to keep runners dry and comfortable, and a selection of discreet and zippered pockets to safely stow essential items.

With its innovative heritage and modern materials, the Nike Tempo collection offers female runners sleek, lightweight, breathable apparel designed to help maintain a comfortable rhythm throughout any exercise routine.
