You walk into a party and the major mainstream running shoe brands are there -- Nike, Adidas, Brooks, Mizuno, Reebok, Saucony, New Balance and Asics. What is each one of them doing?
Go.

Go.
Nike- life of the party, rich, telling a story about latest marathon or something
Adidas- popular and handsome, but easy to overlook. Often caught in Nikes shadow.
Brooks- quietly making out in the corner with a 9.5/10 girl
Mizuno- loudmouth that no one actually likes
Reebok- drunk out of his mind, dancing wildly to a large crowd of onlookers, brags about how he could bench 350 in 1995
saucony- socially awkward in the corner
New Balance and Asics- white, gregarious, cool but not too cool, follower types- egging on Nike and Adidas
Nike- rufie-ing every chick's drink in sight.
Reebok- the d-bag who always ends up in his underwear by the end of the night.
New Balance -was the gangly/awkward girl/guy in high school who is now, suddenly, a smoke show.
My creativity has run out so that's all I've got for now.
Of course they didn't invite the new shoe in town Hoka because they know he would be the most liked by the end of the night.
Maybe Carly Simon can write a song about Nike.

Yeah Hoka is like Chris Farley who has a lampshade on his head by the end of the night for attention and laughs

... then ends up doing too much blow, has a heart attack, and dies young.

Ahhh Brooks is the hipster at the party who wore a fedora to try to look cool, but isn't getting any attention form the ladies and is jealous of Nike, Adidas and Aspics and is pretty pissed.
Hoka is nervously eating pretzels in the breakfast nook with a girl who friend'zoned him four years ago. He doesn't want to mingle with the rest of the party, he's not entirely sure why he came.
Nike is in the backyard, in the grass, barefoot doing a keg stand and will black out by 10 PM and have to be escorted to a minivan where he will wake up at 1 am in an In N Out drive thru with his friends and order a strawberry milkshake and immediately throw it up.
Brooks is sipping on straight whiskey with ice, calmly and seems to be reconnecting with his ex girlfriend who he broke up with before Christmas.
Reebok is running late but will end up never finding the right party and settle for a glee club event nearer to his house.
Newton is the older half brother who has found his group to tell them all about jr college life.
Merrel is selling marijuana at the party and leaves after 30 minutes and one sale.
Adidas is the boring fat girl that is kinda cute but no one really cares for either way, a DUFF, if you will.
Altra is manning the BBQ and chatting with anybody who is in earshot.
Mizuno is drunk in the kitchen eating from the fridge and found a jar of olives and eats this with a finger scoop of cream cheese.
Saucony is getting head in the pool house.
Asics is the Dad driving home early with the wife from Sedona and will break up the party.

This was surprisingly descriptive.
Nike is the obnoxious frat-boy who talks too loudly and tries to impress everyone around with his beer muscles and flashing his wallet. He tries to intercept all the babes.
Adidas is the guy who everyone used to like but no one knows if he even comes to parties anymore.
Reebok sits in the corner and brags about his PRs from thirty years ago.
New Balance is the ISTJ enginerd obsessed with numbers and Big Bang Theory references.
Asics used to spring for all the drinks but for some reason he's now a cheapskate.
Brooks is the guy who is not that impressive at first glance but he's the one you can can count on as the designated driver and you trust him with your little sister.
You didn't expect to see Skechers there, but everyone figures out he's a lot of fun when he's had a few drinks in him.
Etonic never comes up from his mom's basement.
I'm definitely reebok at parties, except for the benching part. Instead of that I'm overly friendly with anyone

And then Altra shows up and says "I'm new and crap but want you to pay $80 at RW for my new shorts that are just shorts... with a zipper."
I missed the point but really, Altra? $80 for a pair of shorts?!
You know this happens every year at The Running Event, right? Here is my rundown..
Nike - they don't even show up to the party.
adidas - blazer over a graphic tee, euro-vibe, talking craft beers
Brooks - the guy that does anything for a dare.. a bit obnoxious, but having fun
Saucony - forgot to get invited, but made their way, then just hanging in the corner
Hoka - at the party but no one knows who he/she is
New Balance - pretty fun, telling stories about the good ol' days
Under Armour - didn't get invited
Mizuno - stragglers, end up drinking a bit too much
Asics - a bit serious, but sipping all night on the good stuff
....and then VIBRAM comes in with a mfkn AR-15 and kills everyone.
New balance is the smoke show babe at the party that all the other brands are drooling over

Add "Thinks he is the..." and this is accurate.

Nice touch, although all those tri/ultra brands you named wouldn't be invited.
You off your meds, bro?
