Sha’Carri Richardson Sends a Special Message

While Sha’Carri Richardson has yet to kick off her 2025 track season, her name is already dominating headlines. As the face of Nike’s viral So Win campaign, Richardson continues to capture the world’s attention, both on and off the track. Her presence helped catapult the campaign to instant success — but she isn’t the only Nike star making waves.

Christian Coleman also featured alongside Richardson, but another iconic athlete recently joined the spotlight: Faith Kipyegon. Widely regarded as one of the greatest middle-distance runners in history, Kipyegon has accumulated countless accolades over her career. She currently holds the record for the fastest mile time by a woman at 4:07.64. Yet, true to her relentless spirit, Kipyegon is not resting on her laurels.

Partnering with Nike, Kipyegon has launched a new campaign titled Breaking4. The bold mission? To break the four-minute barrier in the mile — a feat never before accomplished by a woman. The ambition behind Breaking4 mirrors the same groundbreaking energy that made Richardson’s campaign a cultural phenomenon, where her signature black t-shirt, featuring her holding a medal, sold out within seconds on Nike’s online store.

Seeing another Nike athlete take on such an audacious challenge, Richardson showed her support in a heartwarming way. She reposted Kipyegon’s Breaking4 announcement on her Instagram story, calling the Kenyan legend simply, “LEGEND.” Her message radiated belief and encouragement, underlining the respect and admiration these two phenomenal athletes share.

With Kipyegon’s proven resilience and Richardson’s enthusiastic support, fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating what could be one of the most historic moments in track and field. If anyone can shatter the seemingly impossible, it’s a true legend like Faith Kipyegon.
