And they'll be released next year.
Makes you wonder what's making him drop these insane times.

Sounds kinda crazyyyy that he's dropped the 1st (2:00:35), 3rd (2:01:25), and 6th (2:01:53) fastest times in Marathon history in a span of 10 months despite not even having run a Marathon before last year. And they are his only three marathons.

I thought one of the rules with these super shoes is they had to be available to everyone , or does that only apply to world athletics events?

Did Rupp get these shoes? Did they ever show him on the broadcast? I don't recall seeing him.

It changed, it is now a list of shoes which can include declared prototypes:234

Crazy yes, impossible no.
Ask yourself this, could a young Bekele have done the same with modern super-shoes? The answer is yes.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
You really gonna compare young Bekele (AKA....4:49 2000 Indoors, 7:25 3000m, 12:37 5000m, 26:17 10,000m) w/o supershoes and most of these not even time trials.
To a guy nobody knew before December 2022 yet somehow can pull off 2:01s or faster every time he races in a span of 10 months with bloodshot eyes?
He has more Sub-2:02 Performances in 10 months than Kipchoge has in 5 years. There comes a point when questioning an athlete is not a bad thing to do. Also, his coach claims he ran 300km weeks three times straight. How on Earth can a guy who has more mileage than ultramarathoners + runs a marathon a day 21 days straight has the speed or even the endurance to withstand that training let alone pull off 2 of the 5 fastest marathons off in 5 months time.
Talent is correct, but whatever else he has....isn't legal.

Every one of those races you listed was a “time trial”.

Super shoes only work on runners with neanderthal dna. Kalenjin feet are already springy.

They have a new rule where a shoe company just has to have a process to distribute them to pros.

Nike pros have been wearing these since Tokyo. Hassan wore them at London. Not exactly new.

I have no issue with shoes that enhance performance. But I do have an issue with athletes using tech that isn't available to everyone.

You'll be able to wear them on the next year's turkey trot, I assure you.
