Nick Symmonds new shoe deal to be announced at 1 pm ET - Update has signed with Brooks!!

Letsrun has made a couple of strange posts about this the last couple of days.

I think Letsrun will be announced as one member of a new package of sponsors that Symmonds has put together.

Uggs for Men, you heard it here first.

I'd love to see that. Maybe other athletes would follow. Not NOP though, they're too cool.

Skechers. Nick is the Kim Kardashian of track and field.

My bet is on Carhartt.

Maybe he could wear that LRC singlet for races.

Toms? I mean he only "runs" ~2hrs a day.

I think that Symmonds will sign with Brooks Running. He will either be part of the Pro Distance Running Group, Team Indiana Elite or Brooks Beast

He is the best American 800m runner and one of the best in the world. Slight difference from someone who is famous ... merely for being on a reality show about absolutely nothing....

And what he is doing is a good idea for track and field in general. These guys need to be paid more money. If his actions help bring more attention to the sport, then with the attention will come the money.

The real question is will Nick Symmonds actually divulge what pro athletes get paid. No rumour or speculation, I have signed with XXX for $250,000 a year for the next four years.

So let me get this straight. Kim Kardashian is bad because she uses attention to get money. But Nick Symmonds is good because he uses attention to get money?

Vat? Vat are you saying?

Hey Rubis

Only 1 minute left.

I'M SO EXCITED.

I enjoyed training in the nude, but prefer this beautiful new singlet. I am now partnered with @brooksrunning! pic.twitter.com/LO8iwBvpTr

He's signed with Brooks:

I am more curious about his team and coaching situation. I can't believe he is switching coaches at this point.

I was hoping for Saucony...best shoes out there in my opinion
