Gbaoso Run the Mile You're In Kola Nut Embroidered Dad Hat

Bring purpose and style into your everyday look with the Run the Mile You’re In Gbaoso Hat. Featuring the motivational phrases "Run the Mile You’re In" along with a kola nut motif woven into the design, this hat is more than an accessory—it’s a statement of resilience, pride, and 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.”
