after covering up nike logos in his recent posts, he's now wearing brooks tights and tagging them, but looks to be wearing nike spikes. What is happening?

Looks like he's spending time on Letsrun to get his name out there.

Leer was listed under "Very Nice TC" on the heat sheet. Weird.

The phrase 'very nice' has never been seen at this forum. That is why it seems weird to you. You are not familiar with 'very nice'.

seems slightly obvious what's going on here ....

Nike informed Will at the end of 2015 that it was not going to offer a new contract at that time.

Nike has 180 day ROFR. So if Leer wants to get out from under the Nike umbrella, he would rather just sit tight and wait it out. He is avoiding what happened with Berian.

Leer is biding his time until the 180 days are up and then he will sign with a new company - perhaps Brooks. (since he and Nick are friends, I wouldn't be surprised to see him join Brooks).

Because Nike is no longer paying Will to endorse its product, he is going to take the appropriate steps to avoid doing so. Blurring, removing, or covering logos.

Why is he still running in Nike shoes and apparel? Because why should he spend hundreds of dollars buying all new clothes and shoes? Especially when - once he signs with a new company - he will get it all for free.

Credit to Will - he is outspoken, but he has always held himself with a very high level of class. I do not think you will hear him blasting Nike. But if Nike is not going to support him/sponsor him anymore, then he is not going to be a free running billboard for them either.

GOOD LUCK WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Always"?

I'm guessing not everyone Will agree with you on this.

To clarify:

this is the same will leer that whines and blames others when he gets outkicked in finals, right?

Every.single.year.

I'm holding out that sponsors get wise to his boring routine and realize he's a lost cause. gabe jennings 2.0?
