At least bonus clauses essentially went untouched?

Pretty good writeup from Drew, wish we got this sort of behind the scenes detail from pros more frequently.

Really good guy, easy to root for.
Especially, since -- to best of my knowledge -- he is the first elite US distance runner who has confirmed he wants to make the 2026 US World XC team.

Hopefully your grandma buys a lot of shoes.
As Capriotti once told me, “I don’t give a sh-t about selling shoes, I want medals” which means that every other company wanted to take something away from Nike so they have the same mentality. Meanwhile, this mentality opened the door for Brooks and Hoka to become dominant in the much larger road market.
I work in Data Analytics for an outdoor goods brand. FWIW, Nike has roughly a 40% market share in specialty running, while Brooks is ~10% and Hoka <5%. If you take every single running shoe brand, less Adidas, and combine them they still sell fewer specialty run shoes than Nike.
Some rough numbers:In no way am I arguing with you but this really surprises me. For several years when I've been at the start and/or finish of road races I see very few people in Nikes. Hoka, On, Brooks, Saucony, and New Balance all have a lot more people in them than are in Nikes. This also extends to things I see at other places. People wearing running shoes casually, grocery stores, doctors' offices, airport, terminals, etc. are rarely in Nikes.
