I saw that. ”Protosofthegram” Instagram page posted a response. Apparently the shoe his wife wore in a recent race had a carbon plate, so I get what he’s saying but it’s a bit hypocritical.

I admit I am kind of a Nike fanboy, but I have no problem with progression of tech in the shoes. Reality of it is Nike’s tech breeds better competition from other brands and come race day all the other professional runners will be wearing similar shoes anyway. It still comes down to physical ability one way or another.

oh absolutely. i'm not an opponent and don't necessarily agree with Ryan. I respect the heck out of him, don't get me wrong. I was just bringing it up as a discussion point

When Hoka got their first one, somebody made the joke "carbon plate wars have started." i just thought this was the second salvo.


ETA: i will say that nike itself is dirty AF with a lot of things they do (Oregon Project doping, recruiting tactics, etc.)
