It was the spring of 2009. I was backpacking across Europe, and my train had arrived in Wien Hauptbahnhof. As I walked out of the station and into the streets of Vienna, the air felt charged with energy. Classical music was blasting from speakers. Spectators were clapping and cheering. Banners were being waved, high-fives were being given. And there in the middle of everything, people clad in moisture-wicking shirts and spandex were running.
With a rucksack slung over my shoulders and without anything urgent in my itinerary, I followed the crowd and the noise. Eventually, it lead me to the finish line of the 26th Vienna City Marathon in historic Heldenplatz. There was madness there, the good kind. Men and women, young and old were crossing the finish line after running for a long time. They were met by family, friends, and strangers with hugs and words of congratulations.

And Nike just might be at the top of our lists when it comes to producing versatile and top-of-the-line yet stylish products for athletes. Their latest venture? This generation’s favorite hue–pink.
Just recently, the brand released the NikeWomen Fall 2017 Collection and we’re pretty stoked about it, since it’s clear that they’re trying to reel us millennials in. Considering all the adorable pink sportswear and sneakers that they’re coming out with (a girly girl’s dream come true!), we can say that it’s working real good. I mean, who says you can’t be a cute badass, right?
