Nike Innovation summit report - day 1
And it all started a the airport like most trips. But this time, we traveled in Style. Business Elite class from Delta Airlines treated us like little fit princesses. So we ordered champagne, made 867 selfies and drove "normal" business class people a bit crazy by screaming every time we were offered yet another luxurious service #sorrynotsorry.

Role models are the new super models
This amazing fashion show in the middle of soho was more spectaculair than any of the photo's show. It was a - you should have been there - type of event. What was so great about this show was that Nike used role models instead, real athletes to show the new collection.

And of course the one and only Karli Kloss!
Go to page 3 to see the new tights collection!
Tights are not pants? Tights are the new Denim!
Tights are a ultimate example of how Nike design blends performance and style. We were the first ones to see the new Nike Epic Lux Printed Tight (will be available beginning January 2015). Vice President Global Design for Nike Women’s Training Julie Igarashi explained that tights are the new denim. And they want to give the Nike Women enough choices to go for the print that best fits their personality and style. All we thought was... we want them all, where can we pay! Dreamy!

The everyday workout wear
One of the highlights would have to be the collaboration with Pedro Lourence. The soft grey, pink and beige tones mix perfectly with black, which makes it a perfect addition to your wardrobe. We just love it when sportswear is accepted in your daily wardrobe. This collection is designed to transition from workouts to everyday wear.

New Nike Flyknit Zoom Agility
From an early morning yoga section to a late night run, is best to describe the versatility of these babies. Designed to fit like a glove and serve for whatever you throw at them. Moreover, they are cute as a button and would fit perfectly under a high waist skirt! How's that for versatility.

The Fit Girl Pro
We were quite nervous at first because it was our very first interview. We had a lovely chat with our dutch superwomen Dafne Schippers. She gave us some great diet and nutrition tips we are allowed to share with you. Not to spoil the ending or anything, but it isn't as hard as we all think! Interview will be online soon!
Go to page 9 for our talk with Sofia Boutella!
Professional dancer/ supermodel/ movie star
When they told us we could interview Sofia Boutella, we almost choked on our quinoa. Sofia has danced and acted in several films, including StreetDance 2, Monsters: Dark Continent and Kingsman: The Secret Service, which premiers in February 2015 featuring Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson. She has also made numerous televisions and commercial appearances, and toured as a dancer with Rihanna and Madonna. You can imagine how psyched we were to meet her. And guess what, she is so nice. We asked her about how she maintains a fit and healthy life, what her cheats are and how she stays in shape. Interview will be up soon!
Tomorrow we will post PART II of this crazy adventure. This part will show what type of exercises we did, what a super model workout feels like and let but not least; the contents of our extreme goodie bag(s)! So stay tuned!
