Nike Running Sucks Tshirt
The first time I saw this shirt on someone, I knew from the way it was cut and type of font, Nike made it. There was no way I could pass this up! A few months later (today) I finally found the shirt in Nike’s Bay St. Store in Emeryville,CA. I’m surprised I went the San Francisco,CA Store and they never seem to have it.
*This location is now CLOSED.
Updated (12/1/2013): No longer available from Nike. However you may find very similar shirts here : Running Sucks Alternatives
DESIGN
For obvious reasons, you know exactly what it says. This shirt comes in a few colors such as Green on Gray or Blue on White, you can find it here -> Nike Running Sucks Shirt . The cool thing about the shirt is, that the lettering on the front is actually “Reflective“. So when you’re running in the dark, it can be seen when light it shined on it.
MATERIAL
Very important thing to know about running shirts is the type of material the manufacturer is using. Cotton is NEVER EVER a good idea because it holds in moisture and your nipples can also stimulate chafing aka Bloody Nipples. It’s broken down by a blend of 50% Cotton, 25% Polyester 25% Rayon. This is a good thing!
FITTING / SIZING
It fits snug around your upper body which gives it pull on top of your nipples. I like how it’s tight up there because it will prevent chaffing. Around the arms, its a little tight so it gives you that muscular look. The length is long and unlike my Pearl Izumi shirt, it’s longer. There’s nothing wrong with a longer length or a shorter length, its by your own preference. I’m 5’8″ so it lands right below my jean pockets.
It gets loose around your lower body which is great so you can hide your love handles 🙂
PRICING
Came out to be $30. Nike Dry-fit shirts aren’t cheap. The price is normal for a quality running shirt.
OVERALL FROM RUNNINGMILECOM:
The shirt is great for everyone. Althought the text on the shirt might be an issue. If you’re like me who can take some funny jokes and able to give a smile when someone looks at you funny, then by all means buy it!
Who might get offended:
I have not worn the shirt much since I just bought it. From what I read, people in the gym will look at you funny and give blind stares. I don’t see why a fellow running would get mad, its a joke get over it and live life. Wearing the shirt might give an impression that you’re a douchbag, but I think its hilarious. Don’t you see the sarcasm?
Personally, I’d say something if I saw you running in this same shirt next to me.
STAR RATING: 9/10
About Jason
Running Fanatic who loves to inspire people through Social Media. I have been running for over 3 years ranging from mud runs, 5k and all the way up to marathon running. Isn't it great to run!?
Just wanted to say that I’ve worn this shirt out several times in several different areas, and I don’t think there’s been a single instance where I haven’t had at least one person tell me the shirt’s hilarious or that they really like it. More than once it’s been a conversation starter.
I’ve also worn it to a small pop-up 5k of about 20-25 people, and probably 1/4 or more of them came up and asked where I got it.
Seems to be pretty well received, especially among fellow runners.
Def, however if you’re not in the mood to get attention, that’s the worst shirt to wear! Glad you like the shirt.
Where did you get your shirt? I have tried a number of Nike stores in my state and they did not carry it. Could you email me the specific store and city, state where you got yours. I appreciate your time in doing this. Thanks
