Less is more
Apparently, less is more. Nike engineers have been hard at work on creating a better running shoe since the days when they were selling shoes out of the back of a van. After countless hours and millions of dollars of engineering effort, it turns out that the best shoe, is no shoe at all. They have studied the movements of the unshod runner and have found that they have more agility and have a considerably larger range of motion in their foot. Damn, you would think that after all of that work we could easily outdo (a. millions of years of evolution, b. some deity’s infinite greatness). The point of all of this, well now you can buy a new shoe from Nike (Nike Free) that gives you the best of both worlds. You will be able to protect your feet from goatheads and at the same time be able to run a 4.4-40. These shoes look pretty cool as well. I like the fact that Nike has continually pushed the envelope of athletic engineering, now if they could just find a way to manufacture these shoes without exploiting impoverished brown people.
