The polar vortex may have passed, but that doesn’t mean the cold wintery days are behind us yet. After all, the Winter Olympics and Super Bowl still lie ahead. Cold weather can pose a challenge for those seeking to shed holiday pounds or keep those New Years resolutions. Enter Nike with their latest training and lifestyle gear, the Silver Speed collection, to help you beat those winter blues.
Unveiled to celebrate Super Bowl XLVIII and built to outfit players for all conditions, this collection draws inspiration from the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the icy weather of the Northeast, and the bright lights of the city, which will host the Super Bowl in 2014. If it can protect NFL players, imagine what it could do for you.

Nike Lunar 180 Trainer SC
Staying warm when training outdoors is important but you also have to protect those feet. For those living in the concrete jungle, consider the Nike Lunar 180 Trainer SC. The shoe was designed more for gritty sidewalks than dedicated turf training, but merges modern construction with a classic silhouette. The original DNA is visible in the upper, but updated with Nike Hyperfuse construction for breathability. The sole has a Nike 180 Air unit and molded Lunarlon bevels.
Nike Pro Combat Hypercool 2.0
If you prefer training indoors, check out the Nike Pro Combat Hypercool 2.0. This shirt balances breathability and compression by pulling sweat from the body with Dri-FIT fabric to help keep you comfortable and dry. The 2.0 has a short sleeve option with mesh inserts for increased ventilation. After all when you’re at your local sports club you don’t want to be the sweaty guy everyone stays away from.
Nike Sweatless Jacket and Pant – Super Bowl Edition
Whether you’re wrapping up your workout or warming up, the Nike Sweatless Jacket + Pant is some pretty functional, yet cool gear to have. Reinterpreting the classic warm-up, the silver Super Bowl edition of the Nike Sweatless Jacket + Pant utilizes two-way stretch fabric and a water-repellant finish for warmth and mobility.
