Why can't Nike or someone make a track spike that weighs 3.0 ounces or less for the mile?

If you are so smart, why arent you working for them?
Why can't you glue spikes to the bottom of your feet?
The Nike Victory (coming out in October) weight 3.2 Oz. in a Men's size 9.
while it may not be exaclty 3.0, the nike victories are 3.2oz and for a production spike thats pretty freaking light.

Maybe I'm completely insane, but aren't sprint spikes always considerably heavier than distance spikes?
Indeed. Sprint spikes tend to have a lot more plastic and other materials built in them to make them more rigid. This obviously adds quite a bit of weight.
Yeah, having more "agressive" spikes despite the resulting weight gains is a good trade off for a sprinter where power is king.
TY Yech and STL. I'll look for the Victory in Oct
