Swift High-Waisted Pocket 7/8 Running Leggings

Just ran 3 miles straight with head to toe new Nike gear - which I haven’t been able to do in 10 years. It’s amazing what new gear, new year, morning sun can do for a person. Would give these 5 stars if they hugged my butt a bit more. 😂 The support in the calves makes up for it though.

Amazing fabric, and it really is a running legging. It is exactly like previous editions, but the fabric is less elastic, making it a little challenging to pull on over the hips and take off, though it was not a big deal for me. The waistband sits a bit higher than other models, about two fingers above the navel. Another important point for runners is that it has drawstrings to tie at the waist—one of the few models from the brand that does, which is great. I gave 4 stars only because it is not a 7/8 length. I am 160 cm tall and had to cut 5 centimeters off the length to achieve the 7/8 fit. I recommend buying it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mom always on the go, comfort and performance are key for me. These Nike Performance leggings move with me effortlessly, whether I’m chasing after my toddler, going for a walk, or squeezing in a quick workout. The compression and flexibility keep me supported without feeling restrictive, and the sweat-wicking fabric keeps me cool. While I may not be a professional athlete, these leggings definitely help me stay active and comfortable in my daily routine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for my wife. She said: I am a working mom of 7 young kids and I like to keep in shape both for my physical health as well as my mental health (and sanity!) and I need workout gear that can withstand a lot of wear and tear as well as make me feel good while wearing it. These high waisted running leggings really fit the bill! I used them around the house to get tasks done as well as for both for short (1-2mile) and long (5+ mile) runs. There are both pros and cons to this model - the PROS: 1) the material is SO comfortable and has the perfect blend of stretch and compression. 2) the fabric weight is ideal for spring running - it breaths but it also holds in heat so my legs felt great for the duration of each run 3) The pockets are positioned so I could be hands free and still keep my essentials (like phone and energy gel packs) accessible during the run. 4) the waistband is thick so there is not a small single circle of pressure on my abdomen, which is an improvement from other brands I've tried 5) there is no seam or pressure point anywhere on the tights that was uncomfortable, so I didn't experience any rubbing or discomfort for the duration of wearing them ever! There are only a couple CONS: 1) I felt they run a bit small, especially in the waist. I know they are intended for compression, but getting them on required a bit of discomfort, especially at the top of the waist - it is exceptionally small. I'd recommend sizing up if you have a larger waist or prefer more room on the waistline. Since they are high rise, it definitely "cuts" into the area under your rib-cage at first and is tricky to pull up. Once I got them up, they were fine and they stayed in place perfectly, but I might size up if I buy a second pair for this reason 2) I feel they are a bit long to be considered 7/8 length (I'm 5'8" 125 lbs) - they fit more like a traditional legging, which was fine for my use but if I truly wanted 7/8 length I'd say they are longer than that. Overall these are great leggings for running - they stay in place, keep me cool, held up to washes and wear and tear and still look new, and fit comfortably with no rubbing. I'd definitely recommend them for anyone who wants to run!
