Implications? -Vaporfly 4% and Next% can be used, alphafly (kipchoge prototype) can not. -The prototype spike Nike athletes used at 2019 worlds will be banned -No more utilizing prototypes for elites then bringing the shoe to market

What does this practically mean? The world of running has changed. The times of the past means little compared to the times of today. We need to readjust "what is fast" Shoe wars will continue, just with 4months of lead time where people no what's coming instead of a surprise.

My thoughts: This is a way to 'do something' to limit damage, while not really doing a lot. It draws a new line at the next%. So the change we've seen stays. The drawback is that other companies if they don't get their next% competition out soon, will be behind a 4month delay...

Shoe companies need to push out their answer to the next% soon! If they don't by the April deadline, their athletes won't be able to use for the Olympics (won't be out for 4 months). Saucony looks like they need to push up release date.

And this is the downside of a rule. We know the research of what the 4% do... We don't know about the competitors... If they didn't make something that is comparable from a performance standpoint, their athletes are at a disadvantage, and there's no time to 'catch up' before Oly

So what will the "TUE" rule look like for shoes? Because there clearly has never been manipulation of "medical exemptions" in the past for anything else....

I foresee an increase in foot related medical issues in Nike athletes.

Good perspective but WA had to start somewhere without burning the whole house down. At least there are some rules out there and all manufactures, coaches and athletes know what they are.
