Coe wore Nike from 78 (possibly earlier), and was sponsored by them from 79, up to and including the LA OLympics.
In 85 he wore Diadora, and did so for the rest of his career.
Why did Nike drop Coe in 1985? Were they on the Cram bandwagon?
It seems in the 1984 OG, a lot of runners were wearing Nike spikes/shoes.
Cruz, Coe, Aouita, Cova and Lopes all won with Nike.
And one could get Nike, Adidas, Lotto, Diadora, Puma (Gola, Pony) distance spikes.
Today? Nike, Adidas, Hoka.
