I would love an athlete who says, I signed with Xxx bc hey, money is money and no one else wanted me!
Instead …
Thrilled to be back with Nike! Supporters of shady BTC, Shelburrito, unfueled long runs and asking me to dye my hair blonde for marketing purposes! So many great memories!
I used to work at Marathon Sports in Cambridge, we were never encouraged or told which shoe brand to sell to the customers. This goes against everything Marathon Sports stands for. The company would have failed like many specialty stores who pushed brands over customer needs.

Say what you want about Brooks. She finally got her first legit national championship while being sponsored by them.
...while wearing a pair of nike spikes with no swooshes.
I am a close friend of Emily’s and know her very well. I can say with 100% certainty that didn’t happen. She might be one of the most humble, inclusive, down to earth persons I’ve ever met. I’ve actually never seen her be mean or dismissive to anyone (no matter their status). This is either a lie or a total misinterpretation.
50-50 you're her stalker.
So what happened with her Brooks contract?
Why when she was a Brooks sponsored athlete, did she continually wear Nike spikes?
As her CLOSE friend, you should be in the know…
