Run With Us - Nike x Hibbett Partner with Houston's ZFT Run Club

Mar 25, 2026

“Our Pace. Our Rhythm. Our Run." is a celebration of the unique energy and collective spirit of Black run clubs. In partnership with Nike and Houston's ZFT Run Club, events emphasize running as more than just a sport—it’s a cultural connection, a personal journey, and a community movement.

From the very first step, you could feel the energy in the air. With each race and meet-up, hundreds of local runners embrace their own pace, share in the rhythm, and enjoy a run that goes far beyond miles and minutes. Laughter, encouragement, and the beat of sneakers hitting the pavement created a soundtrack that perfectly captures the purpose of running: moving forward together, authentically.

Why the Pegasus 42

With 15 percent greater energy return than its predecessor, the Pegasus 42 is powered by a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit, making it exciting to lace up for jogs, community runs, training sessions and more. The fine-tuned Air experience provides a propulsive feel reminiscent of Nike’s legendary road racing footwear but engineered for everyday runs. More than ever, each Air Zoom unit is designed for maximum responsiveness — creating a bouncy, powerful sensation never before felt in a Pegasus model. Our Pace. Our Rhythm. Our Run.

Real Runners, Real Community

Momentum begins when we commit to beginning. Day 1 of the Hibbett x ZFT partnership marked the start of a long journey and a growing movement. The Houston running community has been overlooked for far too long. ZFT is making space, creating opportunity, and building that momentum from the ground up. The future looks bright for the Hibbett runner.

Meet Coach Yancey

Before ZFT was a movement, it was a vision.

Coach Yancey built ZFT to redefine what running could feel like in the South; community-led, purpose-driven, and unapologetically real. This is where the Hibbett runner starts.

Meet Danielle

Daniell didn’t start as a runner, she built herself into one. What began as hesitation & small goals has turned into consistency & confidence with half-marathon number 4 on the horizon.

Meet Gerald

Running isn’t new to Gerald, but the love that he has for it is as strong as ever. Fueled by Nike Running and supported by Hibbett, he continues to show up with a relentless edge, the will to win and driven by the need to be better than yesterday.
