Although other shoe companies
Nike Air Max 95 Damen have been slow to respond to Nike’s Pebax-coated gambit, they seem to be catching up with prototypes of their own. This, in turn, has led to concerns about a prospective arms race in which brands will try to
Adidas Superstar Mujer outflank each other with ever-more lavishly designed supershoes, until road racing, that wonderfully simple and pure sport (if you ignore all the doping), starts to go the way of Formula One: the best technology wins. To keep things from spiraling completely out of
Nike Air Max 95 Donne control, there has been speculation that perhaps the
Nike Air Presto Mujer International Association of Athletics
Nike Air Max 1 Womens Federations will introduce new regulations on what runners are allowed to have on their feet; one seemingly sensible (and feasibly enforceable) suggestion has been to cap the stack
Nike Internationalist Dames height on racing flats.
But not everybody
Adidas Superstar Femme is confident that the IAAF is interested in doing anything at
Nike Air Vapormax Femme all.So what do the runners themselves think? At the press conference prior to Sunday’s New York City Marathon, we asked some of the finest marathon runners in the world for their thoughts on the ongoing
Nike Air Max 95 Mujer shoe debate.“I’m excited for a point when the shoe thing stabilizes and we get back to talking a little bit more about the athletes and the performances. The shoes have been a big part . . . but I think it will level out. At some point there’s diminishing returns because as you get taller and taller shoes, you have
Adidas NMD Mujer to build wider and wider shoes and then
Adidas ZX 750 Womensthey start getting heavy. So, it will be interesting to see what these shoes converge at, or if the IAAF decides to do some regulating.”
We just have to educate people and make sure
Nike Air Max 720 Femme they understand that something
Nike Air Max 90 Mujer Rosa different is happening right now. . . I think the shoe [prototype] is fantastic that Brooks put together. I hate the concept [of a shoe arms race], but I love the shoe. I could go either way. If they banned it [i.e. various iterations of supershoes] tomorrow, I’d be, like, ‘Great! That’s fine, too.’ . . . It’s an arms race and it should be a footrace. We should find out who the best athlete is, who can cover 26.2 miles better than the other person, not who has the newest, greatest technology . . . I think there’s going to be a
Nike Air Max 90 Femme Blanche certain breaking point where it just gets to be a
Nike Air Max 95 Womens little bit too much.
