UNDEFEATED has spent more than two decades shaping the conversation between sport and street. Now its training arm is pulling Nike into the gym.

UNDEFEATED Athletic Club Training Program — better known as UACTP — has revealed its first apparel collaboration with Nike, a men’s and women’s capsule built around the disciplined athlete. The collection drops Saturday, May 9 at all UNDEFEATED Chapter Stores, on Undefeated.com, and at UACTP’s home base at 2200 Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles.

UACTP Meets the Swoosh

Established in Los Angeles in 2018, UACTP is UNDEFEATED’s global fitness platform — a programming and community arm that extends the brand’s “Five Strike” identity into actual training. Pairing that ethos with Nike’s deep performance bench is a logical next step. The capsule leans on Dri-FIT fabric for sweat management, lightweight stretch construction for full range of motion, and ventilation placed where the body actually heats up. The editorial campaign was shot inside UACTP #001 and features Dante Graziose, Emma Powell, Jalil Kuku, Sarah Suwanasung, and Ty Manzo.

This is a meaningful entry for UNDEFEATED, which has built one of the most influential sportswear and retail platforms of its generation since launching in 2002. The brand has logged plenty of Nike footwear collaborations over the years; this is the first time the relationship has produced a full apparel range, and it lands on the training side rather than the lifestyle one.

The Lifestyle-Meets-Performance Era

The UACTP x Nike capsule lands in the middle of a clear shift across the industry. The lines between lifestyle, streetwear, and serious training apparel are dissolving fast, and brands on both sides of that line are racing to build credibility on the other.

Look at PUMA x 247 by Represent. The British label took its 247 performance arm and built a 12-piece capsule with PUMA, anchored by the Deviate NITRO Elite — the shoe that’s become a standard in the HYROX racing community. The partnership is now multiple drops deep, fronted by Olympic semi-finalist Phoebe Gill and HYROX Master Trainer Jake Dearden.

On the running side, Minted NY and Saucony have built a release cadence that mirrors a real run brand’s seasonal calendar — moving from the lifestyle-leaning ProGrid Triumph 4 to the Endorphin Speed 4 to a new chrome-finish Endorphin Pro 5 super shoe slated for May. Pleasures x Altra took a more cultural angle in April, dressing the Experience Flow 3 in a “Satellite” colorway that channels punk and music subculture without sacrificing Altra’s biomechanical DNA. And Kith and On just announced a multi-year partnership built around two original silhouettes — the K-Tech 1 and K-Tech 2 — alongside a full reworking of On’s core apparel range.

UACTP x Nike fits that same throughline. It’s a streetwear-rooted brand pulling a global performance partner deep into actual gym territory, with the goods to back it up.

Inside the Collection

The men’s side spans heavier everyday training pieces and stripped-down performance gear:

  • NRG Hoodie ($100) — Heavyweight brushed fleece with a relaxed body, ribbed cuffs and hem, classic kangaroo pocket, and durable heat transfers at the chest and back.
  • NRG Primary Short-Sleeve Top ($55) — A daily training tee with Dri-FIT, a soft knit feel, and underarm ventilation. Heat transfer graphics front and back.
  • NRG Dri-FIT Slim Short-Sleeve Top ($30) — Slim performance fit with stretch, flat seams to reduce friction, and a raised UACTP/Swoosh lockup at the left chest.
  • NRG UNLMTD 7IN Short ($60) — A 7-inch training short with 4-way stretch and Dri-FIT, side pockets plus a zip back pocket, and a stay-put waistband with adjustable drawcord.
  • NRG UNLMTD 5IN Short ($60) — The shorter 5-inch cut of the same build, with side vents for added mobility.
  • NRG Dri-FIT 3QT Tight ($35) — A 3/4-length compression tight with stretch knit construction, supportive waistband, and a side pocket for essentials.

The women’s range is tighter and built around studio and high-output sessions:

  • NRG MED SPT Unpad Bra ($38) — A medium-support sports bra with adaptive, sweat-wicking fabric for a second-skin feel. Raised heat transfers center front and center back.
  • NRG 365 3IN Short ($32.50) — A 3-inch training short with a wide, supportive waistband and no front seam to prevent ride-up.
  • NRG 365 Tight ($55) — A full-length training tight with mid-rise core support and heat transfer logos across the front thighs.
