I was just curious as to why they would use these spikes. now i know every1 is entitled to their own opinion and what they choose to wear is their own business, im just curious as to whether or not there is any benefit to wearing one versus the other. is it for marekting reasons like if people see them in those spikes its like advertising? is it because the mamba is better at the 800m than the victory? is one better for faster finishes than the other? or is it just purely a comfort thing?
the way i thought of it though, wouldnt they want to use the victory spikes (reagrdless of event unless theyre dong steeple) over the mambas due to the lighter weight (3.2 vs 3.9/4.1)more agressive spike plate (six pins vs five/ sharkskin over entire bottom vs sharksin over just heel)? how come someone like wheating or webb doesnt switch around spikes like they do? again, im just curious as to whether there are any extra benefits to wearing one over the other (maybe they purely like the way they look better?). anyone know the reasoning?
