For what it’s worth the first and third place women in the recent US marathon trials were on Puma.
Not worth anything as we should all know. The difference in is small and the winner probably would have finished first in any of the supershoes, only the margin would change by a few seconds.
It’s interesting to see people still cling to Nike after many other brands have caught up. The differences between them will benefit different runners, so assuming that Nike is the Aerohead of shoes just doesn’t work anymore.
Take a few shoes to a lab test and you might find that Nike is the slowest for you depending on weight, gait, and form. You’ll also find the shoe that feels fastest often isn’t fastest.
