BREAKING: Just heard back from a spokesperson for ASICS after Fred Kerley’s appearance at the New York City Grand Prix wearing competitor spikes:
Statement: “ASICS and Fred Kerley have mutually parted ways and he is no longer an ASICS sponsored athlete. We wish him the best in his career.” via Chris Chavez on twitter
We changed the title which initially said Fred was dropped by Asics. SInce the statement says they mutually agreed to part ways, we changed it to that.

The dude is a Unit, but there is a screw loose. Maybe he can get sponsored by Boeing.

Will ASICS make a run at Parker Valby?

So wait, the whole "I'm gonna break the world record" was just a way to draw attention to a premeditated false start so more eye balls would be on his new Puma spikes? Because he was so frustrated with ASICS spikes?

Misleading thread title. ASICS didn’t drop him. As the tweet says, they mutually parted ways.

I'm starting to think Big Fred is nuttier than squirrel crap.

You've seen the bulge, we all know what that means. Maybe they don't keep size 15s handy

Unreal. I didn't believe it at first. Chris wouldn't lie about that.
So who's going to pick him up now, 3 weeks before the trials?!

Asics definitely doesn’t make good sprint spikes

ASICS is a Japanese company, which means that when they are communicating on something like this they are never going to be direct or place blame on one party. I hope that Fred is able to find a new sponsor ahead of the Olympics. I do think his and Noah’s rivalry has brought a lot of attention to our sport!
