Not supposed to be released until Tokyo 2020. Their answer to Nike. He said partly based on injury and new running form.

I saw that, the new 4 1/2% I think he said..I have seen a couple folks with new bars too, isnt there a rule that stuff has to be commercially available before a pro can use it in competition? Or did I just make that up??

That's a UCI rule

Ahh, thanks guys, knew I saw that somewhere. SO I guess triathlon did not adopt that rule, and as usual, is always a step ahead of the UCI..

In this case, not really. Weren’t British cycling / Sky the first to do the 3D custom bars? They were “available for sale”, but good luck actually buying any.

Personally, every shoe company is so far behind Nike at this point, its almost comical. Nike now has two different shoes that are commercially available and Kipchoge is running in yet another new shoe tomorrow trying to break 2 hours... which I would expect will be available for $30,000 on Nike.com by Tokyo 2020.
But seriously, I'm glad other companies are coming out with products to keep pushing Nike to improve their design and/or bring the prices down on carbon plated shoes... but no matter how fast Jan runs, I doubt this shoe will gain much interest versus Nike's commercially.

Nike invested 3 years in kipchoge, but are the 2 hour shoes ideal for 3 hour runners?
Frodo used a pair for 2 years until someone updated his run stride and they gave him blisters.... Hopefully the new shoes are decent for what hes about to do tomorrow

People always forget that there’s a pro only version of the % shoes. I’m not sure if/what is different but you’re not running in the exact same shoes as kipchoge.

That's Eliud Kipchoge winning Berlin in 2:04 a few years back with his Nike prototypes going bad on him.
Those are Zoom Streaks. Not any version of the Vaporflys they are currently using. Also a really simple fix.
