Dongguan Aika Apparel Co., Ltd., a leading industry-focused, manufacturing and trading integrated enterprise specializing in custom performance activewear, customization, the collection responds to the explosive growth of nocturnal fitness culture while delivering tailored solutions for brands, retailers, and sports organizations across North America, Europe, and APAC.
As urbanization accelerates and time constraints push more athletes to train after dark, the global night running apparel market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% through 2030, driven by demand for gear that balances visibility, breathability, and durability. Aika Apparel’s NightRun Pro Collection is purpose-built to address this shift, merging proprietary fabric technology with customizable design options that empower partners to create branded activewear that resonates with their target audiences.
Engineering Safety and Performance for the Night
At the core of the NightRun Pro Collection is Aika Apparel’s proprietary LuminaTech Reflective System, a multi-layered safety solution that sets a new standard for low-visibility athletic gear. Unlike traditional single-strip reflective prints, the system integrates 3M Scotchlite™ retroreflective yarns directly into the fabric weave of short-sleeve tees, compression shorts, and running tights, ensuring 360° visibility from up to 150 meters. This embedded technology eliminates the risk of peeling or fading over time, a common pain point with post-production reflective treatments, while maintaining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that avoids the “high-visibility vest” look many runners find unappealing.
Complementing its safety features, the collection leverages Aika Apparel’s AeroDry 4.0 moisture-wicking fabric, a blend of 88% recycled polyester and 12% spandex sourced from GRS-certified suppliers. The fabric’s four-way stretch adapts to dynamic movement, reducing muscle fatigue during long runs, while its micro-pore structure wicks sweat away from the skin 30% faster than competing materials, as validated by third-party lab tests. For cooler climates, the line also includes a thermal base layer with brushed interior lining that retains body heat without adding bulk, making it versatile for year-round training.
“Night runners don’t want to choose between safety and style, or performance and sustainability,” said Li Wei, CEO of Dongguan Aika Apparel Co., Ltd. “Our NightRun Pro Collection delivers on all fronts, combining industry-leading reflective technology with fabrics that perform as hard as the athletes who wear them. As a manufacturing and trading integrated enterprise, we control every step of the process—from yarn spinning to final packaging—so we can guarantee consistent quality and rapid iteration for our global partners.”
B2B Customization: From Concept to Delivery in 14 Days
Aika Apparel’s greatest competitive advantage lies in its end-to-end customization capabilities, designed to serve the unique needs of B2B clients ranging from emerging DTC fitness brands to multinational retail chains. The NightRun Pro Collection offers full-spectrum customization, starting with fabric selection: clients can choose from 20+ base colors, 5 performance fabric blends, and eco-friendly options like Tencel™ and recycled nylon. For branding, Aika supports precision screen printing, sublimation, 3D silicone embossing, and heat-transfer logos, with no minimum order quantity (MOQ) for sample runs and flexible MOQs starting at 50 pieces for bulk production.
This agility is made possible by Aika Apparel’s 30,000-square-meter manufacturing facility in Dongguan, equipped with 200+ advanced sewing machines and a dedicated R&D team of 35 textile engineers. The factory operates on a lean production model, enabling rapid prototyping—samples are typically ready in 3–5 days—and full production runs completed in 10–14 days, a timeline that outpaces industry averages by 40%. For clients with urgent deadlines, Aika also offers a “Rush Production” service that cuts lead times to 7 days without compromising quality.
“Working with Aika Apparel transformed our ability to launch limited-edition night running gear,” shared Maria Gonzalez, Product Director at RunFit USA, a leading American running apparel brand. “Their team helped us refine our reflective logo placement to maximize visibility, and their quick turnaround let us capitalize on the marathon season rush. Since switching to Aika, our night running line has seen a 32% increase in repeat orders, thanks to the durability of their fabrics and the precision of their customization.”
