I mean, those were literally appalling. I wish there was a hidden camera when Leo/Torrance opened the box from Hoka and saw those inside. They're almost as bad as Georgia Tech's flesh-colored speedsuits with the extra tight shoulder to inseam lengths...

Agreed, ugly and poorly fitting, what the hell are they thinking? Unique footwear yes, clearly a miss in the apparel design area. -
As usual, this thread is absolutely worthless without pics.
-
Oh.... Those are soo... Bad. Looks like a cycling uniform/tri uniform WTF! Omg ugly.
-
Whats wrong with good old vest and short shorts - even David Oliver would agree!
-
Holy crap, those are weak. even a sprint track suit is better than that
actually getting that burnt orange longhorn suit is SWEET...oh well theyre Nike haha -
They will stand out in a race.
Watch a European 1500 or 5000 race and see 6 or 7 Kenyans wearing the exact same Nike uniform and try to follow who's who. -

split shorts and vest do not flatter the distance runner physique -
Probably not but they look better than running in a gimp suit which most are doing nowadays.
-
Is Manzano getting ready for his first triathlon? Wtf is that uncomfortable looking thing?
-
It looks like a children's rash guard for swimming in the ocean. The shoulder's don't even fit on him. I thought they did really well with their regular singlet and shorts. At least Merber looked good.

Don't worry troll-boys. Not one you will ever be given a contract to ware uniform. None of you are fast enough.

"They will stand out in a race."
-so would a clown suit, but I'd advise against wearing that. BAD uniform choice. wow. -
Hoka is big with Tri geeks, so they just paying that forward...
But, yes, ugh -

Stand out, maybe more laughed out, Hoka had an opportunity to do something unique, instead chose a design that reflects a design look clearly disconnected from the world of running. Why do brands with great momentum going do something utterly stupid like this? -
I always thought speed suits were questionable in an 800 and certainly out of place in a 15 or mile. Why is leo wearing this?

Because they pay him to. You are a moron. -

I actually thought it was a cool watching Mo Farah get hunted down by an Army of Purple Clad, Nike-wearing, Kenyans. I almost felt sorry for him.
