Nimbl and Nike have launched Étoile, a limited-edition capsule of cycling shoes and apparel. The collaboration marks the brands’ first joint step beyond footwear. Nimbl has supplied Team Visma/Lease a Bike with race shoes since 2023 and race kits since 2025, while Nike provides riders and staff with off-bike apparel. The launch follows a limited-edition cycling shoe that the two brands released at the Giro d’Italia to mark rider Jonas Vingegaard’s Grand Tour success.
The Étoile collection combines Nimbl’s Italian handmade cycling craftsmanship with Nike’s design and performance innovation. Nimbl is part of Pon.Bike, one of the world’s largest bike groups and itself part of Dutch family company Pon Holdings, alongside Lease a Bike and Cervélo, the bike brand of Team Visma/Lease a Bike.
“This partnership is built on a shared conviction that attention to detail is decisive in racing,” said Poppo Hofsteenge, who leads the Nimbl and Nike collaboration for Pon.Bike. Kieran Ronan, who heads the collaboration for Nike, said the tie-up reflected a shared focus on performance and an opportunity to shape the future of cycling.
