Apple Employee Outdoor Run shirt (c. 2020)

This shirt was made available to selected Apple employees who are running enthusiasts. The shirt is made by SUGOi, a Canadian sportswear company that “offers a range of technically advanced clothing and accessories for all conditions and for everyone.”

The shirt is black and made from a textured fabric with a lining. The small front design is printed over the heart and features a red heart similar to the Heart Rate section in the Health app printed with “160 BPM.” The back of the shirt features a striking design with “Outdoor Run” printed at the bottom using a font and layout similar to the Apple Watch Activity app with the Activity rings printed below in matching colors. Eight bright green vertical stripes run from the bottom logo to the top neckline.

The left sleeve features an Apple logo, and the right sleeve includes the word “Apple” (although in a font that resembles Apple Myriad, an older rendition of Apple’s logotype that does not match this overall design).

Both the outer and inner layers of this shirt are textured, likely to promote moisture wicking. The interior lining is semi-transparent white.

Apple Watch Nike Sport Loop (44 mm, Royal Pulse/Lava Glow, Fall 2019)

This Nike Sport Loop Apple Watch band was released in Fall 2019. The packaging described this product as “Hook and Loop Closure Reflective Thread Detail.”

The Apple Watch Nike Sport Loop band has been available in several color combinations that matched one or more Nike shoe or clothing products upon release. This example is called “Royal Pulse/Lava Glow” and appears light gray on a black background with flecks of light blue and link. Nike Apple Watch styles tend to use more abstract descriptions of colors than Apple designs. In this case, the “Royal Pulse” description likely refers to the light blue threads, while the “Lava Glow” threads are likely the pink threads. Inside, the Apple WATCH | Nike logo and the 44mm size is set in bright green.

Apple described the Apple Watch Nike Sport Loop band:

“Soft, breathable, and lightweight, the Nike Sport Loop is designed for fitness, with select colors matched to the new line of Nike running shoes. It features a nylon weave with reflective thread designed to shimmer when light strikes it. A hook-and-loop fastener makes for quick and easy adjustment, and dense loops on the skin side provide soft cushioning while allowing moisture to escape. On the reverse side, the attachment loops are securely anchored for superior durability.”
