The running shoe market is ripe for disruption. Walking through the tool isle at Home Depot it's amazing what you can buy for $100. You can get a decent power tool with lithium-ion batteries, eletrical motors with copper wiring and rare-earth magnets. These are complex tools with many moving parts made out of relatively expensive materials. It makes no sense that a 10 ounce running shoe made mostly out of foam should also cost $100+.
It makes sense to anyone that understands the laws of supply and demand.
Of course supply and demand sets the price. I'm saying that there sure seems to be room for with a different model of making/marketing/delivering running shoes to radically undercut the $100 price.
