Apple and Nike are collaborating again to release a special edition of the Powerbeats Pro 2. These two brands share a long history of making gear for athletes. This new release is directly aimed at people who want reliable earbuds for daily workouts, combining audio quality with a design that stays out of your way.
Built for heavy movement
The standout feature of the Powerbeats line has always been the secure ear hooks. This Nike edition keeps that exact physical design. The hooks make sure the earbuds stay locked in place while you run or lift weights. You do not have to worry about them slipping on a treadmill.

Nike brings its own visual touch to this version. The right earbud features the iconic Nike swoosh, while the left keeps the classic Beats logo. They are launching in a custom black and neon yellow color option. The plastic charging case also gets a visual update with a matte finish, yellow speckles, and the phrase Just Do It printed inside.
Designed for handling sweat and delivering excellent battery life
A good pair of workout headphones needs to handle sweat. These special edition earbuds carry an IPX4 water resistance rating. You can wear them through intense workouts or light rain without stressing about damage. They also include built-in heart rate monitors that sync directly with the Nike Run Club app.
Battery life is highly practical for this model. You get up to 45 hours of total listening time with the charging case. The protective case holds enough extra charges to keep you going through the entire week. This is incredibly useful if you constantly forget to plug your devices in at night.
For those wanting to buy a pair, they officially launch globally on Friday, March 20. They are priced at $250. You will be able to purchase them directly at apple.com, nike.com, and select Apple retail stores. If you want them sooner, there is an early access lottery happening today on the SNKRS app.
