Aeroswift Half-tights

[Ben Anastasoff]

Does anyone know why there is a $5 difference between the Aeroswifts released in 2020 and the ones released slightly more recently? I’m talking about the ones that have the same ribbed design and look exactly the same. I got the ones that cost $80 a few months back and I could not understand why there was a price increase.

The latest ones include a small pocket according to the product description on Nike.com. The $80 ones from last year, which I have, lack this feature.

Oh, I see. I guess that makes sense then. The shorts are expensive regardless, but I can see why adding a pocket would warrant a price increase. I probably won’t be getting those new ones though since I don’t need a pocket as a track runner.

As a follow-up, I had the opportunity to visit the Nike Boston store, which had these on display. There are actually 4 smalls pockets - 2 in the front and 2 in the back. I could fit my house keys in these small pockets. I'm still going to wait until they go on sale!

Yeah, same thing in the split shorts. I’ve had the splits for a year. The pockets are definitely a nice to have, but I don’t think I’d pay an extra $5 though considering what I use them for. I almost exclusively ran track races in my half tights and it’s too hot now to actually wear the type of short. I could see it being a very useful feature for cooler climates though while racing a marathon or running out of your car.
