They were $140 at the time when all the other ones were $60-70. I can't imagine a shoe or spike that light - will it last 4 rounds? @Fred – I remember back in 1987, I purchased the Adidas “Sprint” spikes similar to the ones Ben Johnson wore before we switched to Diadora.

I can’t imagine a shoe or spike that light – will it last 4 rounds?

New technologies and ideas into shoe construction for atheletes is enjoying a nice renaissance. I hope they keep it coming though those days of a good under-$100 shoe will soon be over. I'm waiting for that day when the manufacturers can tell us that, "... by wearing our shoes, you will actually weigh less than if you didn't wear them!" 186 grams... incredible. Commenting on one of your previous posts: It's hard to believe that Jamaica has had so few Olympic gold medals than one might have expected them to have considering the wealth of great performers that country has given us throughout the years.
