On Monday, April 6, 2026, Nomadix, a social purpose corporation and makers of The Only Towel You Need, made from post-consumer recycled materials, will launch its first-ever footwear collaboration with performance running brand, Brooks Running. The co-branded collection of seven products sets the pace for the introduction of new Nomadix products, all designed with warmer miles in mind that deliver versatile, quick-dry, and cooling essentials built to support runners before, during, and after every effort.
“Partnering with Brooks for our first-ever run-focused collaboration has been an incredibly fun next step for our brand as we expand our product offering,” said Zack Helminiak, Nomadix CEO and co-founder. “This capsule and the upcoming introduction of new Nomadix products are built for the realities of trail running; helping runners dry off, clean up, change at the trailhead, and be ready to say “yes” to spontaneous adventures on the trail. We need more of that.”
Leading the collaboration is the custom Ghost Trail
