my thought on the carbon fiber plate: it isn't a spring, but it allows for an Altra Neo style bouncy foam, but with a tad less 'mush'. That would be my guess at how it would feel and benefit the runner.
As for the Bowerman comment - I think Bill would be pretty stoked. This is a nice looking shoe. It really checks a lot of boxes for a fast, comfortable racing flat: full carbon forefoot, ample cushioning, bounce without the mush, stretchy upper to prevent hot/pressure spots, relieves achilles strain, full collar allowing for shoe laces to be a tad looser and less likely to cause hot/pressure spots, lightweight....
here's the thing, when the sole of the shoe looks like the bottom of a Simmons or Hansen's custom carbon cycling shoe, which is perfectly molded to the foot, I'm thinking the shoe is going to be good possible fit.
