The New York Times highlighted today that Nike is turning 50. It's probably hard for younger runners to remember a running world without Nike, and many Pre fans would be surprised to realize he actually ran in Munich in adidas.
I was a big Onitsuka fan when Nike came out, and it took me a couple years for it to win me over. I had decades of running in Nike shoes. Lately, though, they've lost me, discontinuing shoes like the Streak and betting instead on the carbon-plated trend.
Anyway, thanks for everything it has done for the sport over the years!
