This piece comes from the Gbaoso Collection—"to run"—a line designed by Wealth Ndego and exclusive to Run Minnesota. The collection honors the strength, creativity, and unity of Minnesota’s running community.

This product includes the Gbaoso kola nut design. Native to West African regions, the kola nut (Cola Acuminata or Cola Nitida) is the seed of the kola fruit from the kola tree. While it holds cultural importance across many West African ethnic groups, in Igbo culture it is revered as “the king of all fruits” for its central role in social and religious traditions. In this collection, the kola nut is designed with four lobes (Oji ibe eno), also called Oji Udo na Ngozi — which translates to “kola nut of peace, harmony, and blessings.”

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. As a smaller nonprofit, we make products on demand instead of in bulk to provide more options and prevent the waste of overproduction. Thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
