Rad Lopez Nike Visit Signals What Could Come Next
Rad Lopez Nike Campus Visit Points Beyond the Studio
Peloton instructor Rad Lopez shared a trip to Nike’s World Headquarters and a video built around an RL mark, raising questions about his next steps.
Peloton instructor Rad Lopez spent time at Nike’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, and the Rad Lopez Nike relationship that began in 2024 is drawing fresh attention. His Instagram post from the visit, along with a video built around an RL mark, offers clues about what he may pursue outside of Peloton.

Rad Lopez Nike Visit Centers on the Philip H. Knight Campus
Rad shared the trip in a recent Instagram post on November 4, 2026. He wrote that he spent time on the Philip H. Knight campus, connected with teams, and talked about the future of movement, innovation, and sport. Topics ranged from footwear design and performance to culture and community. A photo in the carousel shows him in front of a large display wall that includes his name.
In the caption, Rad wrote that being an athlete extends beyond the gym and includes how a person shows up for life. He said he sees the future of fitness and wellness in products, experiences, and opportunities that help more people move, connect, and explore their potential. He closed by thanking the people he met and noting the chance to share his perspective in rooms he once dreamed of being in.
He also shared this story during his time in Oregon… what will he do with the responses? We are waiting to see!
From the Metcon 10 Release to the Campus
Nike featured Rad in its July 21, 2025 announcement of the Metcon 10, the 10th version of its training shoe. The release credits him as a Nike Trainer. He said the ReactX foam midsole makes the shoe feel more responsive and the updated Hyperlift heel plate adds stability, and that he believes the shoe is built to perform in strength training, HIIT, or both. Nike listed the Metcon 10 for global availability on August 4, 2025.
That focus fits his work at Peloton, where Rad teaches strength and bootcamp classes and has launched a Strength+ program. The Rad Lopez Nike partnership has so far centered on training, the same space he teaches in.
What the RL Video Shows

Another recent Instagram video Rad posted features an RL mark: white horizontal lines on a black background that stretch into speed trails on the left side of the letters. Other frames show him in pink shoes on a blue track beneath tall trees. On-screen text asks “Why rush?” and says the best part is not the finish line. Another frame says our gifts are meant to be found on the long way home.
The video does not announce a product, brand, or partnership. Read alongside the Rad Lopez Nike visit, it leaves open whether the mark is a personal brand or a project connected to Nike, or a new collaboration in the works.
Where the Rad Lopez Nike Partnership Could Go Next
The Rad Lopez Nike connection could deepen with more training product work. The Metcon 10 role and a campus conversation that included footwear design could point to additional shoe campaigns, apparel, or athlete input on future training footwear. Nike has not announced any of this.
On his own, an RL mark paired with running footage could preview a personal brand. That could take the form of apparel, a training program, or a content series. Rad has already made a personal investment outside the studio, as we reported when he bought land in the Dominican Republic where he is building a house for his mom and family. (Do you love these building progress videos? Amazing, right!)
What is documented is the progression: a Nike athlete since 2024, a named Nike Trainer in the Metcon 10 release, and a campus visit where he is speaking about the future of fitness and wellness. Whatever the RL mark turns out to represent, the Rad Lopez Nike relationship now includes direct conversations with the teams behind the products.
We’re rooting for you, Rad!
