"On June 15 1961, Bikila and Niskanen went to Japan to participate in a marathon in Osaka. The trip marked an important first: Niskanen decided that Bikila had to wear shoes."
Nike shirt: 1961 was sorta/maybe the beginning of "modern" Ethiopian presence on the world scene using footwear(?)
wow, that is a great read about Abebe Bikila.
