Nike x Lee Baron Run Club: Set the Pace. Defy Gravity. 10/23/25
In Huntsville, motion became meaning.
On a cool evening in the heart of the city, over 120 runners, walkers, and wellness seekers came together for a night that blended innovation, community, and culture. The launch of the Nike Vomero Premium wasn’t just a run — it was a rhythm. Every stride told a story of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going next.
Under the mantra “Set the Pace. Defy Gravity.”, participants laced up the HO25 Vomero Premium and hit the streets of Huntsvegas, turning the city’s pulse into movement. From the first stretch to the final step, the energy never let up. Square One Nutrition fueled the start, Smoothie King powered recovery, and Nike’s EKIN team brought the innovation to life through hands-on demos and real conversation.
Boston Celtics performance coach Terry Williams led the crowd through a session titled “Rhythm on the Run,” reminding everyone that movement starts in the mind — where rhythm, recovery, and resilience connect. His words hit home, setting the tone for a night that felt bigger than a product launch.
By the end of the run, something new had been created: The Lee Baron Run Club. Built from that night’s energy, it’s now the heartbeat of Huntsville’s running community — a space where passion meets progress and everyone moves with purpose.
The Nike Vomero Premium stood at the center of it all — powered by ZoomX foam and dual Zoom Air units, symbolizing Nike’s ongoing pursuit of innovation through comfort and performance. But what really resonated was the connection: the way people showed up, moved together, and carried the energy forward long after the run ended.
This was more than a run. It was a reset. Where mind meets motion and innovation meets community, gravity doesn’t stand a chance. Huntsville ran for more than miles — it ran for meaning. And together, we set the pace.
