For the nike shoes on the list I think the Dev 19045 is the SD 5 which is a throwing shoe (19 = S, 04 = D and 5) and I think that Dev 19062 is the streakfly 2 ( 19 = S, 06 = F and 2)

Yes, and it means two things : Or it is because newer are (at least) not better, to be polite OR Nike deliberately WANT some athletes run in older shoes to continue de « cult » of these shoes to retain a value on the market (StockX etc.) don’t forget that Nike in last December has released a batch of older models (VF2/AF1) on their website. It can be perhaps because of the demand of people/athletes, who knows. But for sure Nike like to make their products retain value even after lot of years, it’s part of their business plan.

About a week ago Hirabayashi made a 2:06 debut in the Osaka marathon. He became the 7th fastest Japanese runner in his first race. People were more surprised about his shoe choice which was Takumi Sen 9. I think Adidas has the best variety of racing shoes across all brands.

If you follow Japanese running the fact he did that in Takumi Sens is not a surprise. In fact the current Takumi Sen is still considered “high stack” in Japan for those who used to run and train in the classic Takumi Sens. It was a great performance though. I also agree… Adidas seems to be on a roll right now with product.

To emphasize your third szenario. The dev15 appears to have (visually) a greater heel to toe drop. This could help with transition in case of achilles issues which are common in masters runners. Of course this is highly speculative.

Dev15 is probably a being developed as an Evo 1 direct competitor. If so probably going to be very limited production runs and cost as much😂😂😂 If they end up naming it an Air Kipchoge I'll probably find a way to aquire a pair as a tribute to the great man. A speculation on my part is that this Tokyo marathon was a tune up race for the Olympics?

The Vaporfly Elites were VERY rare and expensive back in the day. These will be no different. Likely closer to the Evo 1 price, lottery based to buy and very rare.

Very interesting video. Thanks. Development shoes are not allowed in the Olympics. In which case, if they are to be used by any athlete they must go on sale at least one month beforehand. Nike have struggled to get the Alphafly 3 out to the mass market, with the next release due on March 8th. If they release a shoe with higher performance very soon after that, they risk having a lot of disgruntled customers. In addition there is no guarantee Eliud will even be in the Olympic Marathon, as the Kenyan field has a lot of depth. Perhaps the Eliud version is just that, a tribute shoe, to be released at a time later in the year whenever peak Eliud fever happens, perhaps after the Olympics...

Ya… Nike needs a new supply chain or marketing playbook. It’s not 2017 where they can dictate market terms in running. The AF3 launch has been a complete nightmare and unchanged from the VF4% launch way back when production for ZoomX was new and there was a reason for scarcity. I am really curious what they do here…

Did you get the chance to see if more women wore the Edge Paris and more men with the Sky Paris? I think it's not only cadance vs stride BUT how much energy you create. For me for a VO2 max runs I get the best matrix in the Metaspeed Sky Plus or Adidas Pro 3 but if I take the Metaspeed Sky Plus for a long run I get foot fatigue. Edge plus works for slower runs well.

Hi I have a question about rotations. I competitively race everything from the mile to half marathon (I have ran a marathon). My goal weekly mileage is 80 miles (though weekly mileage isn't too important). I have tested out racing shoes and I love the Alphafly. I use the dragonflies for trackwork. My slow long-run shoe is the Gel-Nimbus 25. I want another pair of shoes for long tempos/fartleks and another for daily runs (I don't really like the pegs though). How can I build off my rotation?
