Bumping this because it didn't get any traction.
Dylan Bowman just announced today that he is now sponsored by/partnered with Speedland and that they are the title sponsor for his podcast.
Looking at their sponsored athlete page it seems like they have some big ultra names.

Does anyone understand the economics of this company? It seems somewhat unsustainable to me but maybe I'm missing something...
I think Reid Coolsaet tested them and liked them.
Yes, Richie Rich.
I can’t imagine these things are anything close to worth almost $400. At least an Alphafly will improve your running economy, and it’s a bargain compared to this thing. These things are just trail shoes for suckers and solely designed to see how high one can push shoe prices.
Honestly Rojo they are kinda garbage. They don't do well for racing but are a decent trainer for some short runs. Just too uncomfortable and clunky for me to say they're worth that much. Hoka for example has multiple shoes better for less.
This seem to be the right shoe for some Ive League dads to go for a run with their baby stroller.
