Been examining some of the footwear used by non-Nike athletes in their big-time performances this past weekend, and I noticed that 3 notable athletes were wearing Nike Dragonflys that were cosmetically altered:
Oliver Hoare (On - OAC) - 1500, 3:33.54, Oregon Relays
Justin Knight (Reebok - Boston Track Club) - 1500, 3:35.85, Oregon Relays

Nico even painted three stripes onto his pair. I know this was a standard practice for the Vaporflys, but it looks like nobody else has gotten close to replicating the Nike magic.
