Athletes keep breaking records in a specific pair of Nikes. Will the shoe be banned from competition?
World Athletics, the international governing body for track and field, is expected to announce by Friday whether it plans to ban Nike’s Vaporfly shoes from elite competition amid concern that the shoe’s design gives runners an unfair advantage.
The $250 shoes have foam soles and carbon fiber plates in each heel that help propel a runner’s stride. Nike calls it “the fastest shoe we’ve ever made.” Vaporflys were worn last year by 31 out of 36 of the top finishers at the six biggest marathons in the world.
