March 31, 2026

Combining performance innovation with all-day versatility, the collection supports runners before, during, and after every effort.
San Clemente, Calif. (March 31, 2026) – 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 running shoe, blending Brooks’ fan-favorite Ghost with trail-ready durability and a Nomadix-inspired outdoor palette, ideal for runners transitioning from road to dirt in the drier months ahead.
“Runners continue to seek out premium performance running gear that deepens their connection to the natural world,” said Alaina Fuld, director of brand reputation and communication at Brooks. “Partnering with Nomadix for this special‑edition Ghost Trail reflects our shared commitment to inspire everyone to run and be active.”
