Jordan Hasay in a new Nike Flyknit commercial

Distance runners cut out in the TV version

Since nobody has mentioned it thought I would point out that one of the runners in the Farah and Hasay pack is former 400 hurdler turned 800 man Brandon Johnson.

Why is the title "Jordan Hasay in a new Nike Flyknit commercial"? She's the least noteworthy person in that group.

Terrible commercial.

Jordan and Jagger would do a cool hair commercial together. That would be awesome!

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should be proud. Only two white people in the commercial. Jordan and Jagger.

Allyson Felix...wow that woman can have my kids.

I thought it was a pretty cool commercial. Hopefully, we'll see more of it over the next couple of months.

Yeah, seriously. They show the wacko brain in a commercial running up the steps and then they show the wacko brain being interviewed after the recent game this evening. I don't think NIKE will show the wacko brain in another commercial. Do you? How embarrassing for NIKE. But then they deserve it.

Jordan is arguably the most popular and influential runner in the commercial. She is a role model for many young runners across the country. Ask your next door neighbor, everyone has heard of Jordan.

I know! After she won the 5k AND the 10k at the Olympics in London everyone in the world knew who she was, especially when Bolt started doing the HasayBOT. That joker from the UK probably wouldn't have been able to hang with her if the people shooting the commercial didn't tell him to slow down.

Jordan is hugely popular with high school and now college girls so it makes sense to include her in the commercial - they're trying to cover several different demographics, not rank comparative athletic accomplishments. Anyway, along with Eaton and Felix, she's a heck of a lot better person to sell shoes than Kobe. Kobe just gets you the wannabe rapist/jerk demographic.

So who are the others in the distance running group besides Mo, Jordan and Jager?

And here's a commercial idea for Jager-

Who is the woman who was running behind Hasay?

You honestly think she's a lot better person to sell shoes than Kobe? Nike could care less who buys their shoes, as long as they buy them.

That depends on how many wannabe rapist/jerks there are out there. IDK personally, but probably quite a few. Nike has probably done surveys.

Jordan, Eaton and Felix would at least be better for the demographic I'm familiar with.

Most high school runner girls don't have a clue who she is.

My neighbor had no idea who anyone in that commercial was besides Kobe and Allison Felix.

That would be Lea Wallace.
