Soratos is not wearing Hokas in that photo. Those are Adidas shoes.

People here are complete tards.

Centro running with Japanese today in Colorado. (asics?)

Bowerman Babes intact in CO at the OTC . (more than ever... seems they like each other now?)

Draw your conclusions.

I have wondered how much the Bowerman Babes actually train together and also like each other? There are starting to be more women than Olympic team roster spots in the group. Will be curious when a couple of the older are surpassed by the younger ones.

Conclusion:

Hanging out with an old UO buddy, Stinson. BTC boys rendezvous later in the week at OTC.

Incidentally, I'm not aware of any of the BB's not ever liking each other. Are you just trying to stir up trouble/controversy?

Do all of Bossards athletes pay him? 10%/athlete contract and winnings would be a decent salary.

Hopefully they do, but don't worry about Joe. He and Emma live in free housing thanks to Emma's daddy, plus have a couple of income properties courtesy of the same source. The NB and coaching money are just a bonus for them.

So, basically 0% of the OP's predictions came true?

Thanks. I'll sleep better tonight.

Sucks when you're just not good enough.

Bump. Any updates?

Also want to bump this... Nicole demercurio from zap just posted a photo with whited out shoes saying that they are all wonderful but can’t say what they are yet... any rumors out there as to where Zap is going in terms of sponsorship?

Baxter to NAZ Elite.

Roots Running Project dropped by 361°. Can't be too shocking as their most prolific and most marketable athlete had his own, separate deal with Saucony.

Roots actually opted not to re-new, they wanted more than 361 could give.

Interesting move, wouldn't assume they have much in the way of visibility at US champs and WMM in the past year or two to demand more than gear and small travel stipend. Especially with their best performer excluded. Maybe they do, if so hope they get something good!

Maybe it's not always about taking what you can get. Signing on to a contract requires you to be controlled by that brand for the length of term of that contract. So if the money wasn't enough to justify the requirements, then maybe it's better off to have some freedom to wear what you feel comfortable in.

Looks like everyone was wrong about ASICS...

Best signing class of the year, so far...

I've seen individual endorsers for 361°, they aren't shoving product down my throat like other sponsored athletes do. I can't imagine it was so onerous, probably more a case of the athletes and coach being displeased with the variety and quality of the product line. If 361° was giving them little to no cash, free crappy shoes would be easy to walk away from.

If not the best, definitely the biggest!
