We Own The Night x Sabrina Dehoff Finisher’s necklace
In a few short weeks, women of Berlin will be taking to the streets for We Own The Night, Nike’s womens-only night run. If you need some convincing to take part, this latest news might make you think again, as jewellery designer Sabrina Dehoff has designed a “finisher’s necklace” to commemorate the event. Well known for her colourful and punchy designs, Berlin-based Dehoff has collaborated with Swarovski, Tiger of Sweden and Nokia in the past.
We asked Sabrina Dehoff about her inspirations for the necklace, which will be available exclusively to women who finish the race.

“It was very short notice to produce that kind of quantity – we designed it in three days! It went really well, though. I tried to capture the essence of my own brand, even though I was limited in the possibilities of what I could do. I researched a lot about Nike herself, what her attributes were and so on, looking for what could symbolise running.
There was supposed to be some writing on the tag as well, and so we had to select what’s important. I really like the “We Own The Night” slogan, I think it really reflects the power and this kind of positive idea of the run. I like the typeface of it.
I want to keep it simple, so that people can adapt to it. It shouldn’t be for a particular person, with a particular taste. It should be a memory piece that you can keep! Maybe you won’t wear it forever but you can keep it and remember – I was young! That’s why I chose the more nostalgic form, like a medallion. I wanted to keep it feminine, as it’s a women’s run.
It’s about being proud of your own star, and doing it for yourself.”
