Wrong. Nikes have been a straight up sensation the past couple of years, and in particular the past 6 months.

Go to any race. The field is STACKED with people running vaporflys. I see it at our running club. People are suddenly paying their own money to buy the same Nike shoe, when in the past people used kind of whatever they preferred.

Tune in to the olympic marathon trials February 29. I bet the vast majority of the field will be wearing the exact same shoe.

And not just because they're being paid to. They're setting records. Records are falling unusually fast, and by substantial margins.
