If you are not yet part of the running team, you will be once you read about these shoes. Nike introduces the Vaporfly running shoe, which is seen as the speed skate among running shoes. In other words, a golden invention that could have significant consequences for running records. They are all going to fall now.

The secret of the shoe? A carbon fiber plate that propels your foot forward and a sole that is so resilient that you get ‘maximum energy return’ from your shoe. Furthermore, it is featherlight and water-resistant, so a puddle on the left or right doesn't matter at all.

I received the pink one from my beloved. Speaking of original Valentine's gifts. Do you want it anyway?

Will I see you at the Dam to Dam run? Or at the marathon in New York? It will all be a piece of cake with this little shoe.
