I’m sad to report that I was wrong.
Last week, while scrolling through my feed, I saw a prominent voice in running media proclaim that Nike had just released the latest version of its coveted 4% racing shoe. There was a sense of urgency in the announcement; apparently, the Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% Flyknit was going fast. It was all I needed to hear. Within minutes,Nike Air Vapormax Womens Adidas NMD FemmeI was handing over my credit card informaNike Air VaporMax Femmetion to Nike.com and settinafivol.frg a new, dubious, PR by spending $250 on a single pair of running shoes. As least I wasn’t the only lemming hurling himself off the ecommerce cliff, because the shoes sold out the same day. (I checked.)
Needless to say, the timing of the Nike’s latest product launch was not accidental. On Sunday, I watched the Chicago Marathon, where the company is a major sponsor. Lo and behold, the vast majority of professional runners were sporting the same racer that I had just mortgaged my home for.
“It’s interesting to see that most of the front runners are wearing the same footwear,” one of NBC’s commentators said. Perhaps afraid that the network was in danger of violating some law of impartiality, the other announcer quickly interjected that they wouldn’t be revealinNike Ebernon Low Womensg Adidas ZX 700 Mujerthe identity of the “shoe company.” It was an imNike Air Max 270 Womenspressive and totally superfluNike Air Max 2017 Womensous act of discretion. The 4% Flyknits are not discreet. Their fluorescent vermillion colorway, combined with the general media hype around the shoe, mean that runners can’t wear them and be incognito, which of course might be the point. It’s virtually impossible to rock a pair of 4%s, without outing yourself as the type of person who spends $250 on running shoes.
