I can design and make a track spike that weighs 2.5 ounces. a running shoe that weighs 4 ounces and a basketball shoe that weighs 6 ounces without all the technology that shoe company have.
I can even design a shoe that will actually improve ones ability to play a sport.
From tennis to golf.
They most important thing is that it looks good, is comfortable and will reduce lower limb injuries and fatigue.
@Adarian – I saw some of your spikes in Spokane in 2008, and they looked very promising. I will wait until I make my M50 comeback for 400 meters!
Hi, I’m going to buy the Nike Superfly R2 for an elite 100 m. hurdler (u18), did anybody test it? can you tell me anithing about that shoe for 100/110 m hurdlers?
thank you

@Nicola – It’s a good spike with a well designed spike plate for hurdlers (for landing). It’s a bit on the heavy side, being 8 oz, but it’s very durable for the hurdles.

Hey i was wondering with the fixed spikes in the Asics Japan lite-ning would they still be suitable for sprinting on grass or would it be more advisable to use the Japan lite-ning 3’s because all of the spikes are removable
