I know there are some Nike insiders lurking these boards.
What are Mo's new shoes and when are they coming out?

Those are last years in a special color way. You can find them on the Oregon project website on discount right now.
i thought jerry was the cat.
These are most definitely 32's in a new colorway. Look at the flywire upper.
Honestly you could be right. Neither link worked for me so I just guessed as those were the only ones people usually don't know about. Lol
These are not standard issue Nike products... I'm not sure what other sort of modifications or differences there are between these and regular Pegs, but these are custom with the heel/achilles part cut down low.
wow good eye

Hideous.
Oh dang yea now that I can see them I have never seen those before. I can't tell that the heel is cut down though? I think that's just the coloring of this shoe.

Mo always has the heel cut down. It's just a custom modification that Nike does for him for all his trainers.
Oh that's cool. Didn't know.
They should make that available to the public. I'm sure many people would want a lower heel.
Here is a good picture of Mo's Peg 31 with a lower heel collar.

The heel collar?!? Haha I thought he meant the sole. Now I see it. That's cool I guess. Wouldn't think that would make too much of a difference. Wonder why he has to have it cut down like that?

My guess would be that the lower heel collar is to reduce pressure on the Achilles Tendon. Whether he has chronic minor issues with that, or some arbitrary preference for less pressure there, or some other reason is anybody's guess.
True. In his book he talks about an Achilles problem he has dealt with for a long time but not terrible enough to need surgery.
