IAAF getting complaints about Vaporfly?

Adidas v. Nike

"Adidas is doing a nice job, not a great job, while others are doing better from a product and consumer engagement standpoint," said Christopher Svezia, footwear and apparel analyst at Wedbush Securities. "They've got to come up with something more exciting."

I lived in Illinois until last year....And I still get around....Hokas, NB, I've seen often....And certainly the occasional Adidas but very little on TV....

I kind of agree with this. In the past 5 years that I've done road races more frequently (NYC), outside of Nike of course, NB, Saucony, Asics, Brooks and more recently Hoka have been everywhere. Adidas less so but still around. But with cream of the crop athletes and on TV, Nike and Adidas is basically everywhere.

Isn't Mary Keitany sponsored by Adidas?

[tandfman]

Yes, as is the NYCM winner, Joyciline Jepkosgei.

see video now linked to home page in which Nick Symmonds dissects (literally!) a Vaporfly.

Not hard science, but interesting nonetheless

I wonder if they would let you put them on and run a bit. Probably not.
