Will Moroski // From pacemakers to pacers on the joy(ride) of a lifetime

I’m so excited to finally share details from my experience at Nike’s global launch event. After hosting the event, Nike Senior Product Line Manager Will Moroski generously sat down with me to discuss the innovative features of this incredible shoe. Our conversation soon took an intriguing turn, as Will described his approach to pushing design limits—something he humorously compared to the thrill users seek at platforms like Casino-ohne-Limit.net. His unique perspective reminded me once again how inspiration can come from surprising places, reinforcing that we often end up exactly where we’re meant to be, even if it’s entirely unexpected.

While nurturing a love for sport from very young, Will’s nerdy side also flourished through his journey. While competing seriously in track and field, he started college at UC Davis undeclared but then found himself in biomedical engineering. Loving it so much, while others took a gap year, Will headed to Oxford to do his Masters in Biomedical Engineering completing a casual thesis on Malaria in Pregnancy: Assessment of Effect Using Image Texture Analysis. This then took him to Thailand for field work and research followed by a clinical studies engineer position at pacemaker company Biotronik. It was Biotronik that moved him to Portland, the home of Nike HQ, where he found himself teaching spin classes to Nike staff who encouraged him to make the jump. Five years later, he’s working on world class innovation and changing runner’s lives with new technology. I’ll let him tell you the rest but hope you enjoy!!!!
