Can’t tell if PV even wants to be a pro at this point but potential sponsors have missed out on some awesome trials publicity already. Her market value must be through the roof by now.
I noticed she took off her shoes immediately after the 10k. Think this was just for comfort or was it notice that she’s an hot free agent and not advertising for free.

You're over thinking it. looked like 35+ minutes (incl. warmup) in spikes in warm weather pounding a mondo track and a panic to make the uncomfortable feeling go away as soon as possible.
Nike pays her already. She is required to wear their shoes and do everything possible to support the brand.

What is the current level of sponsorship she has with Nike? Do you have knowledge of the details?

It certainly looked like her feet were uncomfortable and she couldn't wait to get them off. Not a good look for Nike. I didn't see the athletes wearing other brands rushing to get their shoes off.

I wonder if all this premature idolizing and stargazing at upcoming athletes like Parker is not detrimental to them. Its probably not polite to mention a handful of male and female nascent stars who have faded or just split because of overexposure. Sing their praises, sure, and throw the boquets (sp) their way--but only after theyve actually got to the top, or at least close. These kids are wonderful, but they arent "there" yet!
I only ran 2 1Oks on the track in college (eons ago) and I do remember my feet on fire and the desperate need to get those spikes off my feet

I noticed it too. In the ncaa she ran in shoes that were not world athletics eligible for races so I assume her racing shoes are now uncomfortable. She needs specially designed shoes, which as an olympian, a sponsor will probably get her.
I thought everyone took their spikes off shortly after a race. Even when someone starts a thread recommending spikes, most of the comments are "they're number 1 job is speed not comfort."
She's not even close to being unique in removing spikes post race.

Usually it's a few mins later. She seemed desperate to get those spikes off.
Speculating about how long after a race any runner removes their shoes is probably a little over the top. Who cares?
You’re looking at the wrong piece of that scene. The guy in the Yankees hat next to her who was helping her take off her shoes is Paul Moser, the head of North American athletes at Nike. He was one of the first to congratulate both her and Karissa. Pretty clear she’s signing with Nike.
I took off my shoes this morning...true story
So which shoe company are you hoping will sponsor you
