The road to race night took a stylish turn in Mumbai as Nike After Dark Tour (ADT) brought the city’s women running community together at Wings Arena, Bandra, transforming the running track into a run-way for an evening celebrating performance, style and self-expression. The experience unveiled the Nike ADT Collection through a fashion-forward, running-inspired runway showcase, athlete appearances and a community run, as the countdown to race night continues.
Run culture around the world is redefining what it means to dress for running, having performance product merge with style and identity. What she wears to the start line now says as much about her as her finish time: who she is, who she runs with and the community she has made her own.
Styled by Indian creative director and fashion stylist Chandni Sareen, the Nike ADT run-way brought that idea to life. Signature Nike ADT Collection pieces were layered with local textures, patterns and design details inspired by the city, showing how runners can mix performance product with their own personal aesthetic, on the course and beyond.
“The idea was to take the energy of running and interpret it through the lens of Mumbai. We played with layers, textures and design details inspired by the city to show how performance pieces can move beyond the track and become a form of style and self-expression. Ultimately, it was about celebrating the women of ADT and the confidence to express who they are, on and off the track,” said Chandni Sareen.
Nike athlete and Indian table tennis player Manika Batra led the line-up along with Nike ADT Global Ambassador and On Tour Club Founder Sahirah Oshidar, Nike Run Coaches Mishti Khatri and Akshata Pai, and other members of the Mumbai running community. Together, they showcased the versatility of the collection through looks that moved seamlessly between performance and lifestyle.
“Running has always been about pushing myself, but I also believe you should feel like yourself while doing it,” saidManika Batra. “I love that the Nike After Dark Tour gives women a space to bring both performance and personality to the start line.”
At the heart of the looks was the Nike ADT Collection, featuring performance-ready apparel alongside playful lifestyle looks, all designed to help athletes feel confident and comfortable from the start to finish line, and beyond.
The collection features a distinct hyper-pink colorway as the showstopper, mixed with black, grey and white options providing choice for styling bold head-to-toe color block looks, or unique mix and match layering. The generous range of shorts, tights, sports bras, crops, tees, sleeveless, rugby-style pull overs, and hoodies, mean the personalization options are endless.
While the colors offer choice, the bold ADT graphics are instantly recognizable, a nod to the cities of the global tour, connecting all runners as one global community.
Completing the looks are Nike road running silhouettes including the Pegasus Plus 2, Pegasus 42 and Vomero 18 in ADT-specific colorways, alongside styles from Nike’s racing DNA, including the Moon Shoe and Skylon 11.
For Sahirah Oshidar, whose On Tour Club is part of Mumbai’s growing running culture, the experience reflects what makes After Dark Tour about more than the kilometers.
“Running has given me a community, a sense of belonging and a space to show up as myself. That’s what makes Nike After Dark Tour so special, it brings women together and gives everyone their own reason to run, to move, while still making you feel part of something bigger,” said Sahirah Oshidar. “With this collection, we are not only celebrating as a community of female runners in Mumbai, but also connected to a global community of ADT runners, from LA to, Mexico, London, Sydney and more.”
The run-way was followed by a 3km community run led by Nike Run Coaches Mishti Khatri and Akshata Pai, giving women another opportunity to build towards race night together, while strengthening the connections that have come to define the ADT community in Mumbai.
The evening marked another milestone in a 12-week training program bringing women together through speed sessions, long runs, strength, recovery and community runs. More than preparing for the finish line, the journey is designed to help women build confidence, find community and define progress on their own terms.
Nike ADT Mumbai takes place on December 12, 2026, with slots all sold out. But don’t worry! Can’t be part of the race? You can still come and cheer for the women winning the night from the sidelines, and you can also sign up for the Nike Run Club and download the app to be a part of the Nike running community.
