Pay anyone enough and they will run in Crap not to mention they will be heavily modified.

Brooks aint nothing but a fat mans athleasure brand who has never won anything but age group in a small town 5k in an obese city.

Brooks are garbage.

Eh. Brooks sponsors only North American elites. They realized sponsoring tier B Africans wouldn't get them brand name recognition. They do cater to hobby joggers, but their products aren't bad

Garbage...that's why they're leading the industry in running shoe sales, even topping Nike.

Yeah.

Will they be wearing the return of the Green Silence??????

Or these guys Ritz has already worn?

Also, re: Brooks and hobby jogging. Top brand by count among first 150 finishers at US marathon trials...

I'm interested to know what they wear and I train in the Ghost so I do like Brooks but the only reason Brooks has a high representation in the trials is due to an program that is being terminated to cater more to slow hobbyjoggers. I doubt you see many Brooks racing shoes at the next trials the flats they put out are not awesome...unless they make something great in the time they have until then.

I worked at a running store during the winter of the 2016 marathon trials, and road racing flats were really hard to find in core sizes. I imagine a fair number of runners at the trials had to take what they could find, and I don't have a ton of faith that race day shoe count correlates with every runner's loyalty or top preference.

Racing flats sell terribly so they are not manufactured in the quantities you might assume they are.

Why can't you say more than that? What are we - mind readers?

If you want more details, fine. Here they are:

Both Ritz and Shadrack will be wearing our newest shoe, called the Brooks GD. It features our new "Omega" sole featured "VersaShock" technology, along with our new logo.

This is a prototype shoe and will not be available to the public just yet, but our early tests have shown that it competes well with the Vapor Fly 4% at a high level and has better rebound.

I had a friend who owns a specialty running store tell me about their new midsole product (which he apparently saw in a prototype shoe) and how they would be incorporating into their full line (including a stability shoe, which is what I wanted to hear about) in the near future. Not sure how it will actually compare to the Boost and the Vaporfly material, but he was pretty jacked up about it.

Of course, his perspective is skewed by his role as a retailer and his distaste for the customer service he gets from Adidas (no more sales reps coming to his store) as compared to the great service he apparently gets from Brooks.

Is it the Brooks DNA "Amp"? Because it's already out.

Brooks tradition of thinking they belong but making cankle wearer shoes continues.

This is very clearly pulled from here:

It is a shoe dads would wear. The name "Mich Man" is unregistered so this is someone co-opting the OP's name for their own shenanigans.

Smoove - is this different than the material that's in the Levitate, and the to be released later this year Ricochet and Bedlam?

Shenanigans? As the person who "co-opted" the OPs unregistered username, I thought it was pretty clever!
