What shoes does Nikki Hiltz wear?
The Paris Olympian had Adidas providing them spikes till 2021. However, Hiltz decided to go another way and became a brand ambassador for Lululemon. And it has been an enriching experience for them through and through. Lululemon officially provides them with training and tournament apparel. But not the shoes. Why? That’s because the company hasn’t yet ventured into the track shoe manufacturing operations.
But that hasn’t been an issue for the 30-year-old. The Grand Slam Track (GST) win came wearing Nike shoes. So, their Nike shoes are definitely working out for them. But that’s not the only track shoe Nikki Hiltz opts for.

From time to time, they have also put on Puma spikes, particularly the Puma evoSPEED distance nitro shoes, while competing. Very notably, they had worn an orange, pink, and black shade of Puma evoSPEED distance nitro spikes to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics trials.
Away from the track, however, Hiltz switches to Lululemon shoes, promoting their sponsor’s best-in-class running shoes. Often, they have sported Lululemon shoes at promotional campaigns and other media events. In addition, they have also endorsed their training shoes, like the Chargefeel 3 Workout shoes and the Beyondfeel running shoes.
It is the perfect arrangement for Hiltz, allowing them to choose exactly what they want to go for in a race.

We can’t really say. And there’s no information online that can shed some light on the topic.
