I've never seen a press release for a shoe. They are digging a hole for themselves with the hype.

8.5 ounces for men's size 9 is too heavy to have 4% performance even with the carbon spring, part of where the vapors get the 4% is the 3 ounce weight savings, it's 1%+1%+1%+1%

I like the use of the word "mere" lol, 5-6 ounces would be "mere"
8.5 ounces is "yawn" in 2019, it's actually a full ounce heavier than the carbon rocket, lol

Literally 5 or 6 people on Earth have ever been "contenders" for the "best 100k runner". It's meaningless.
