Will Leer now just straight up blurring out swooshes on his gear. How can he do this while under contract with them? I understand not liking your employer/sponsor, but if you have a contract to represent them, you have to do that until your contract is up or you get yourself out of the agreement. I like Will, but I can't believe Nike is still giving him anything right now.

WUT. Both the shoes he's wearing AND the training flats behind him have been purposely blurred. What's the story here??
How do you know those are Nikes he blurred out? Maybe he's wearing another brand of shoe and doesn't want to get caught by Nike, so he blurred out the Brooks or Asics or Hoka or whatever logo.
Can someone fill me in? Has he had past disputes with them? He hasn't done much lately, so perhaps he already knows he's not getting his contract renewed, and this is his way of getting back at them.
ridiculous. They could be prototypes, right?

I think those are pegs he's wearing. Plus if you look through his instagram, there are several instances of him blurring out what are clearly nike spikes.
Maybe someone drew a schlong or some boobs on the shoes when Will wasn't looking.
For the life of me I can't understand why anyone give a rat's ass what Will Leer does.
I mean, he's been a consistent contender at US championships for like 5 years. It's not like he's a nobody. And I think his behavior is pretty interesting in light of all the recent stuff with Nick Symmonds.

He's basically a nobody. I could ask 100 people if they knew who he was and I doubt I could find one person who knew who he was.
He has NO Balls. He blurs out his sponsor but gladly cashes their checks. If they are such a horrible company - STOP taking their $$ and quit. Stand up for your principles and be a man. Instead he runs around like a child who says he "hates his mommy, but then sucks at her teat."
Those aren't NIKE's
He wants Nike to drop him so he can sign a more lucrative contract with a different company.
First, those shoes in the picture look like high top basketball trainers.
Second, if he was dropped, why not chuck the shoes. By using them still and blurring them out, isn't he really promoting the shoes? Like saying "these shoes are awesome. I'm mad at the brand, but the shoes are so good I have to keep using them". Right?
It's pretty ironic that by blurring them out, he is actually promoting the shoe even more!

These elite runners are pretty out of touch.
He's either:
a) wearing a non-Nike shoe (those trainers look an awful lot like ASICS shoes)
b) wearing a prototype that he has not been authorized to picture on social media
c) on an under-the-table contract from [shoe maker x]
I would not want to run for Capriotti either.
As bad as the nike trial bros who are so vocal about a "clean sport" yet have no problem cashing checks from a company employing convicted dopers
Those god damn L.A. runners are all full of themselves.
