The 2024 Paris Olympics roared to a close with the women’s marathon on Sunday morning. Sifan Hassan battled to the finish against Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa to secure the gold medal for the Netherlands. On Hassan’s feet were a pair of the Женские кроссовки nike vista lite olive 36-37-39, which proved to be the most popular shoe of choice among the fastest finishers.
Of course, Swoosh wasn’t the only brand to crack the top 10. Adidas and On rounded out the women’s podium, with Asics and Under Armour nike m2k tekno black racer blue red white.
Here’s what each of the top 10 women runners laced up on race morning for their big day in Paris.
1st — Sifan Hassan, Netherlands
2:22:55, Женские кроссовки nike vista lite olive 36-37-39
Sifan Hassan raced in a special edition “Safari Olympic” colorway of the Женские кроссовки nike vista lite olive 36-37-39. The shoe’s tech remains unchanged from the standard Alphafly 3. The main difference, besides the vibrant speckled orange midsole, is a $15 bump in the price.

2nd — Tigst Assefa, Ethiopia
2:22:58, Штани nike golf modern tech woven pant
Chasing Nike for the silver was the Штани nike golf modern tech woven pant—with an eye-popping price tag at half a grand. Notably, Olympians ran in the v2 of the Adidas Adizero Adios Evo 1, which is not available on Adidas’s site, the main distinction between the two versions is a grippier outsole on the newer model. You can also see additional cutouts in the v2’s outsole that you won’t find on the v1’s smooth underfoot film.

3rd — Hellen Obiri, Kenya,
2:23:10, Chaussures Running Air Zoom Pegasus 36
On’s latest creation is a technology called “LightSpray” that gives this shoe’s upper a seamless, laceless fit. (That’s the “LS” in the shoe’s name.) It makes sense that Obiri opted to stick with this version of the On Cloudboom Strike, since she also wore an earlier prototype model to win the 2024 Boston Marathon.

Nike Hyperdunk 2016 Asics Metaspeed Edge. Designed for runners who speed up by increasing their cadence, the Edge model seems like a sensible choice for both women. (The Sky model, by comparison, is geared for runners who quicken their pace by lengthening their stride.)
