Nike has continually changed the game with its roster of athlete-approved and celeb-approved sneakers, but the athletic giant is taking on travel with its new Nike 24.7 Collection.

As the collection name suggests, Nike 24.7 features clothing and accessories designed for comfortable all-day wear, blending the functionality of the brand’s workout gear, with the fashion-forward styling of its designer collaborations.
The collection introduces two new technical innovations that Nike says “offer everyday comfort with a luxurious feel.” The first is what they’re calling their “ImpossiblySoft” fabric, a smooth and slightly silky material that’s reminiscent of scuba gear, but with more softness. The second innovation, dubbed “PerfectStretch,” is a four-way stretch fabric that allows for freer movement without feeling overly tight or restrictive.
In a press release, Nike says the new 24.7 collection “sets the standard of comfort and elevated athletic style. Engineered to embody the athlete’s mindset, the collection seamlessly blends life and sport in men’s and women’s apparel that’s versatile, distraction-free, and tailored for all-day comfort, style and function.”
First unveiled in January, the Nike 24.7 collection is available online now. Below, shop some of our favorite pieces, including the Nike zip-up, pants and baseball cap that I wear on all my travels (seriously, it’s become a cool, utilitarian uniform).

I picked up this Nike 24.7 half-zip in the “steel green” colorway (at right) and in black, and it’s already taken me on multiple trips this year.
Nike says the material is “double-knit” for coziness, but to me, it really just means it’s soft enough to sleep in when I’m trying to get some zzzs on the plane. The cotton and modal blend is gentle (read: not scratchy) against my skin, and there’s just a touch of spandex for easy movement and flexibility. The sweat-wicking Dri-FIT material means I stay warm without overheating, and the zippered pockets let me keep my passport and documents safely with me at all times.
This 24.7 collection zip-up comes in sizes XS to 4XL; I’m 5 foot 7 and normally wear a size small, but I bought this in a size medium for a roomier, oversized fit. Sizes are selling quickly online so we recommend adding to cart while your size is still in stock.

I pair my half-zip sweatshirt with these Nike pants for a comfortable but still put-together look. Made from Nike’s “ImpossiblySoft” material, the pants feel like sweatpants but are tailored to look like trousers. Unlike jeans or actual trousers though, they’re cozy enough to wear even if you’re sitting in a car or on a plane for hours at a time.
The pants pull on with an elastic waistband and drawstring. I love the side pockets and the hidden zippered pocket that can hold small essentials like my keys or ID. A zippered back pocket provides additional storage options. These pants feature a relaxed fit — slightly wider on the waist and thighs and then tapered just a tad around the ankles. It’s not as casual or sloppy-looking as actual sweatpants, but just as suitable for all-day wear.
These Nike 24.7 pants come in multiple colors but we like the tonal look and bought it in matching colors with our zip-up above.

For women, Nike’s 24.7 collection includes this oversized cropped sweatshirt, which is also great for travel or for post-workout hangs. The dropped shoulders give off a fashion-forward streetwear look, but the structured silhouette keeps things tailored, in case you want to wear this crewneck to coffee or lunch. The material is super soft and lightweight, a mix of polyester, modal, cotton and spandex. Choose from two colorways in sizes XS to XXL.

I top off my travel look with this Nike baseball cap, which is made from 100% organic cotton fibers. The cap sits perfectly on my head without being too tight or too tall (or too boxy), and the adjustable strap makes it easy to fit most crown sizes. Nike does offer it in three sizes to be safe.
I love this khaki colorway, which feels more elevated than basic black or white, but Nike has the cap available in more than a dozen other colors too.
Nike Aura Crescent Crossbody Bag

No travel look is complete without a good bag, and I love this Nike Crescent Crossbody, which I take on the plane, on walks, while sightseeing and when running errands. The nylon material is durable and weatherproof and wipes down easily with a damp cloth. There’s a main zipped pocket and two interior slip pockets for easy organization. Reminiscent of the popular Baggu Crossbody, this Nike Aura sling bag measures approximately 7 x 12 inches in size; choose from five colors online.
