I don't remember the official name but they are some Nike crops with Dri-Fit technology. I think these are similar to Nike Filament Capri's.
I never invested in workout leggings before because I thought, what's wrong with normal leggings? Well, these pants changed my mind. They have this Dri-Fit technology that makes it super wicking. I never feel disgusting like how I used to after wearing normal everyday cotton leggings. They have this triangle / diamond shape seams at your crotch so you will never get that camel toe effect. Whoever invented that design is a genius. They have these seams that square in your knees so when you do squats or anything that requires constant bending of your knees, your pant's won't get dragged down. I rarely ever have to pull up my pants at my waist. They are the perfect length for me at 17" inseam as I am 5'7 / 169 cm. I think the back of the legs have a shorter inseam, which is great so they don't run up over my knees. I tried on both small and medium, and I chose the medium. The small fit fine but I was afraid of its sheerness near my butt area. As you can see below, my butt is flat, a bit saggy, and quite wide. I like to credit its appearance to the length of time spent on studying. I am trying to lift them up because it's causing my legs to look short and unfortunate.
My tank is also Nike and I bought it for $10 at TJ Maxx. It has a built in bra with padding. I don't buy built-in bra shirts if it has no adequate padding. I don't like to mix sports bra with shirts with built-in bra's because the combination feels bulky and restrictive. I am not that well-endowed in that area so just a built-in bra provides enough support - the only time I am thankful for their miniature size.
My shoes are Nike Lunar Eclipse+ 2. These are so pretty and I am always happy putting these babies on. I usually wear size 7 and 7.5, and I chose 7.5 in these because 7 was too small in length. Nike's usually run narrow, and I was afraid that these would be uncomfortable because I have wide feet. However, they are so comfortable and don't feel restrictive at all.
I took this picture when I first got these. I have worn them for five months now and they are great for treadmill running and cross training. I did notice though, that my feet slip out on the elliptical but I have been blaming that on my laces not being tight enough. Nevertheless, one or two elliptical mishaps won't change my mind about these shoes. I did own Nike Lunar Fly's before and they were comfortable too, in size 7.5. They were more breathable and lighter than these but looked a bit clunky on my feet.
It's amazing how a change in shoes can increase your run-time by a LOT. I switched from a random pair of Asics trainers that I got in freshman year of college, to Nike's and Nike's provide so much more stability that I can ran further and longer. The eclipse's are very good with stability, which is what I needed as I tend to underpronate a bit (putting greater pressure on the outside of the feet), which causes strain at my ankles. Ever since my soccer days, I developed some sort of problem with my ankles but my ankles have never been sore in these shoes!
