There it is as I said it.
If Vaporfly weren't manufactured by the "evil" Nike corporation no one would give a jackfruit.
Carbon plates have been here since 90s and pebax foam just as many other elastomers are just part of shoe evolution.
It would have happened sooner or later and someone would have figured out how to combine the two materials.
If not Nike, then Adidas or New Balance or some one else would have combined plate and ideal foam to reap the success.
With that said I'm ok with banning VF but only if all shoes including track spikes are banned and all athletics records are revoked after Abebe Bikila.
