Kate Grace has left Oiselle for....

Adidas.

Wally World

Skechers!

Considering her coach and group, I'd say NB is front runner, but they've been spending a lot. Not sure who didn't get extended with them after 2016. Other 2 options would be adidas and then Nike. Would be shocked if it were anyone else. Asics doesn't seem to care too much beyond Furman, a la Reebok/Zap. And Saucony is tapped out. Skechers is a wild card, as is Hoka.

Considering her agent is Josh Cox and he has a lot of Asics athletes - that would be my thought. A big company (Nike) would be great for her, but I'm not sure how Josh's relationship is with Nike or Adidas.

She left Josh Cox, according to a David Monti tweet.

So she has left her sponsor, her agent, what's next? Applying for Canadian citizenship?

Sources say a battle between NB and Nike. Bidding got too high for other brands

Josh is not an agent. He is buddies with a couple of people. He is not connected with a single shoe company. As an athlete he ran for Fila and LA Gear. That should tell you something.

Josh clearly is an agent.

There is someone on here to takes every chance possible to slam Josh. They started a whole thread earlier pretending to be different people, all with posts bashing Josh, all from the same person. Stuff like that happens in the coaches' thread as well. People feel threatened by newcomers and try and bash them. Pretty sad but money is at stake.

As an athlete, I'd say Josh got more $ for himself than anyone else of comparable talent. He was the first to realize there was money to be made in the Ultramarathon scene. Nike is now sponsoring Ultra people.

Josh is the man - anyone who disagrees with this is just a jealous has been.

Oiselle says goodbye....

I slammed Josh on another thread and wasn't the only one so there are at least two people slamming him and I suspect more than just two.

Does Nike really 'battle' for anyone in running. Berian was an existing dispute but seems like they already won the war with all athletes having to wear their gear at Olympics and World Championships. Any guesses how many years until Grace is dropped and back with Oiselle?

Are you serious? Every running fan knows that's false...and most hate the obvious answer.

God she's got an ass in that picture.
