there the same thing as the regular matumbos, just the new elite victory upper. thats literally the only change.
o and the horseshoe plate will be a gold color, other than that there arent any new changes to the perforamcne of the shoe. most likely will be a little lighter but not too much.
same price tag, same release date, same old same old.
honestly though, what more do you do to change the matumbos? there already really light and i dont think incorporating a carbon fiber plate like the elite victories will help at all (horseshoe shape isnt conducive to carbon fiber, unless they remade the entire plate it wont do a thing. and it probably wouldnt feel comfortable over longer distances with carbon fiber in a long distance plate setting, too high up on the toes.)
nike just needed to revamp the matumbos to get them selling alongside the elites as the price tage is more attractive on the matumbos. we might see a flyknit spike in 2014, like they did with the vent 2's, but thats the only new thing i can see in the long distance department until the next olympic cycle
