I think the intrepid LetsRun reporters need to dig in to this. Are these super spikes? An unfair advantage? How big is the market for custom $2500 spikes?
I thought that the $2500 figure was a joke until I clicked on the link. They're nice-looking spikes and for that kind of money, they had better be super spikes. I can't see many of these being sold at that price. Spikes have a pretty short life anyway. How could they give her unfair advantage?
I'm wondering why Nike didn't renew her contract or she wasn't picked up by NB or adidas. They probably thought that she was washed up after her life was in danger when she was pregnant. Regardless, I'm really glad that she made the team. She's a class act all the way around.
