How PopSockets Powered LA's Nighttime Running Revolution

The streets of Los Angeles transformed into a runway of determination and power as 18,000 female runners took part in Nike's electrifying After Dark event. This wasn't just another race – it was a statement, a celebration, and a testament to the incredible strength of women who refuse to let darkness dim their shine.

Part of Something Bigger

Nike After Dark LA represents more than a single event; it's part of a global series of nighttime runs that's redefining when and how women claim their space in the running world. From city to city, these events are proving that the night belongs to those bold enough to own it.

PopSockets Powers the Night

We were honored to partner with Nike for this incredible event, providing custom Nike x PopSockets grips for every single runner's gift bag. Because we know that when you're pushing your limits under the city lights, the last thing you want to worry about is dropping your phone while capturing that perfect post-race moment or tracking your miles.

These custom grips weren't just functional – they were a symbol of preparation, of being ready for whatever the night might bring. Whether runners were documenting their journey, staying connected with their crew, or simply keeping their hands free to focus on their form, our grips were there to support every step.

Beyond the Finish Line

The energy from Nike After Dark LA doesn't end when the last runner crosses the finish line. It's about carrying that momentum forward, staying prepared for the next challenge, and having the right gear that keeps up with your ambitions. Whether you're training for your next night run or conquering your daily routine, the right accessories make all the difference.
