Should Elite Sprinters compete in these shoes to see what's possible or would it be unfair to the athletes who set records without them?

Why Do Olympic Sprinters Have Insane Shoulders? (https://youtu.be/NBtOpWKCHg8)

Let's talk about what's going on with the new Spike shoe technology, why it's being banned, and if this could lead to new world records.

What about the maxfly 2

In this video we discuss the viperfly, vaporfly, and maxfly among other shoes in the Nike Air collection.

Add me on TikTok: TheSprintProject

Just separate the race between wearing the most highly advanced shoes and one with barefoot track shoes which is to really test the raw strength of the person

People saying its unfair that someone can run faster than bolt in the future even tho without the technology he would be slower. Well what are athletes from 100 years ago supposed to say, no blocks and no modern surface. The techology always progressed to help athletes run faster and now suddenly people have a problem with it.

My local track is ASPHALT. What is the best sprint shoe? Thanks

What is the point of biomechanics technology,??? If they keep banning them...as per comparison in the E-sport scene, we dont hear any banning of the setup involved, because it is in everyone's reach to use the tech, if nike create the shoe just for one athelete then it will be considered as tech doping, but heck nike did it for everyone... dont blame the tools involved, a tool is just a tool, the user is the root cause of all problems, if you can't stand the heat, u should pack up you bags and go home,...period...

The Zoon unit takes time to compress and rebound. I fail to see how that’s supposed to improve ground contact time. This sounds like Nike purely generating controversy. “Banned tech” has always been a great ad for a brand that also happens to have the “most advanced” legal tech.

Illegal shoes will water down the sports. It’s exciting initially because of the potential to break records evry year. It’s like fast food running. You know the runner isn’t that fast but you like to be entertained. Even lie to ourselves to feel ok about the lie.

@laughingbird
@

Even if everyone wears the same illegal shoes, it’s still cheating. You won’t be considered faster than Bolt in the hearts of any real runner. Because you’re not naturally faster. It’s like using a trampoline and saying you are a better jumper or dunker than Vince Carter. Make shoes that gives out the same energy the runner puts in only. We want the faster runners, not shoes anyone can wear and pretend they are fast. 💨 I think Usain Bolt Broke track and field. So now we need tech or robots to beat him.

@bigmax4290

Dude, you've made a few mistakes with what you say in the video. Why don't you just check what you say before you use it in the final video? At 5:12 in your you say 9.19 as opposed to 19.19. You do this several times throughout the video and its pretty jarring. Other than that it is a great video, I just think you can improve.
