The History of Tyson Gay’s Spikes (Adidas)

I try to be unbiased and cover a variety of athlete’s and their respective shoe companies. This gives everyone a chance to explain the different types of spikes and technology for their star athletes. Shoe companies are a multi-billion dollar industry.

This video was produced prior to the 2010 Brussels Diamond League meet where we were expecting a 3 man showdown between Tyson Gay, Usain Bolt, and Asafa Powell. We all know what happened.
