Nike Challenge

(Larry Jamison) said:

Hello all - I've run 50 marathons in 30+ years, mostly in Nike shoes. In
the 1970's New Balance had a problem with mid sole breakdown because
they used EVA foam.. Nike, used their own brand of polyurethane which
is the real key to their long life, not the air bags. Be that as it may,
I also have an article in my clipping file from a sports doctor who
stated that "air shoes retain 80% of their cushioning ability through
400 miles."

New Balance has now done their research and I run in both New Balance
and Nike. If you have a Big 5 sporting goods store in your area, you
should be able to find Nike training shoes in the $49 range.

Happy running..Larry

Somehow in those 50 marathons, you became oxygen deprived. Who in hell
cares about your clippings from a sports doctor years ago?

Watch it, he'll prove his case by posting a link to a BLOG, and
that'll teach you.

Hmmm, I've got one here that says Asics gel retain 99% of their
cushioning abilty well past 500 miles. Sounds like you lose again.

As do most major brands EXCEPT nikes which are 400 miles. Most brands
like adidas, asics, reebok, are good for 600 miles, possibly more. I
think he would've been far better off if he'd kept his mouth shut.

You must be about 80. But anyway you should update your info.

Again, why do you think 70's info is relative today?

Then do they use airbags on 95% of the shoes they make? Oh yeah, it's
free.

That is truly a sad statement for nike then. Most brands retain 90%
over a 500 mile period. I think you are not helping your case any.

If you are running in shoes that cost less than $50 injury is in your
future.

Because he's A: an old guy living in the past, or B: a moron.

95% of what they make is [censored], that's why.

It's like bragging about your fuel efficent, 1957 woody wagon that
gets 8MPG.

Of course he's retired now, because his knees need replacing, but I'm
SURE it ISN'T from nikes...
