The 39-year-old Kipchoge is widely regarded as one of the
greatest marathon runners ever, having run four of the 10 fastest
marathons in history, as well as having 11 World Marathon Major
wins to his name. The Kenyan phenomenon, who in 2019 became the
first person ever to run a sub-two-hour marathon, is bidding to
rewrite the history books again this year, in an attempt to become
the first athlete ever to win three consecutive Olympic marathon
titles. His mantra: ‘No Human is Limited’ shows parallels with his
illustrious career, inspiring everyone to break their limitations.
Aligning with Shokz’ vision, Kipchoge joins forces with the world’s
leading open-ear headphone brand to help both himself and his
fellow ‘NN Running Team’ through their training regimes as they
head toward this year’s Paris Olympic Games.
As part of the collaboration, Shokz will launch a limited
edition version of OpenRun Pro, which features a grey and orange
colorway, and the globally renowned ‘NN Running Team’ logo engraved
on the headphones. The color inspiration for this product comes
from the signature colors of Kipchoge's NN Running Team - the
vibrant orange, which ignites a love for sports, and grey that
represents resilience and the challenge of pushing athletic
boundaries, hoping to inspire every sports enthusiast. The special
edition headphones will launch on June 27, 2024 - quantities will
be very limited. More details can be found on the Shokz
website.
“When I first encountered these headphones, I found them to be
very useful for my training and so I had to introduce them to our
NN Running team,” said Kipchoge. “We’re a team that trains
incredibly hard and these headphones give us the opportunity to
enjoy music and be aware of our surroundings even for our longest
workouts.”
“We couldn’t be happier to bring Eliud Kipchoge on as a global
brand ambassador,” said Daisy Cong, International Marketing
Director at Shokz. “He is recognized worldwide as one of the
greatest athletes of all time and it is an honor to have him join
the team. We can’t wait to help him forge his name in history once
again at this year’s Olympic Games.”
