The cool thing about track and field athletics is that you can compare your performance throughout history. If Usain Bolt's records are broken due to super spikes will the new record holder really be faster than Bolt? Is it fair to compare the two? IMO anyone who beat Bolt will have to beat him in regular spikes to gain the title as world fastest man.

Some respect for the man by pronouncing his name right Eliud Kipchoge

Your math in the middle of the video is incorrect. You can't take the speed multiplier and subtract time with it. As a simple proof, imagine if the shoes made you 100% faster. Applying the math you used, that would make your time for the run ZERO seconds, which is impossible. Here is the CORRECT way to do the math: Have some arbitrary distance 'd' and some arbitrary speeds 's1' and 's2' to represent your "before" and "after" speeds, respectively. If s2 is 3% faster than s1 then that means s2 = 1.03*s1. Now, time is simply distance divided by speed, so we say d/s1=9.76 (your baseline time). For our second equation, we have d/s2=t. To solve for t, our shorter time, we substitute our value for s2 we found earlier to get d/(1.03*s1)=t. Then, since we know d/s1=9.76, we substitute that in as well to get 9.76/1.03=t, which equals 9.47572816. Thus, t rounds to 9.48 seconds, NOT 9.47 seconds as you incorrectly calculated. This may seem like a nitpick however it's always important to do the correct math. If you intend to use an approximation, as you did here, you should explicitly state it, so as not to mislead the less mathematically inclined who may be watching your videos. Although your approximation is somewhat accurate for small speed increases, it becomes extremely inaccurate in more extreme examples like the one I mentioned earlier. Yeah, I sure wish I had a magical pair of shoes that allows me to instantly teleport just from running twice as fast as I normally can, but alas that is impossible...

Jesus loves you all so much please repent and turn away from sin. God bless you and your family

Hi

or they just all wear the same shoe

If they were developed by third world countries they would ban it

@@pandaface1941People have different foot shape so some people would have shoes that don’t fit properly

@@pandaface1941 sponsor existed. there's no way a brand would follow each other in terms of design.

They used to bck in the ancient Olympics.

☺️

the video game equivalent of this is the wooting 60he in osu

Spiked shoes are cheating, but whatever. Nobody will go back to butt naked olympics, so bring on the viperfly!

God bless prayers in Jesus name amen for healing and love and protection and comfort!!

@@DoooFus no its equivalent to gorilla tag with 45 or 15 hertz

Bolts shoes didnt have springy airpods lmao. This is the issue here.

It wasn't the does, it was the track surface that made the difference. Kinda like at the Beijing Olympics they made a deeper pool, which also played into the number of records.

There should be no problem with the shoe as long as everyone in the race is wearing a pair Also they should ask bolt to go back in training for a six month and run a race with all the best 100m sprinter of this time bolt is not too old he just retired

There needs to be a fine line. We can’t end up with straight up motorized shoes in 15 years lmao

Just shut up please, and give the athletes motorcycles. It’s the best technology. And if you do, make it so that only few athletes, the ones that are sponsored by the motorcycle company are allowed to use them.

Very true.

@@TheSprintProject_theirs two on stock x

The fact that the KZfaqr assumed that would apply to the 100m just because it applied to the Marathon is not only a misleading statement it's also stupid

@@breakmylegs7294 yea it’s just a poorly put together argument, and a way of essentially click baiting Usain Bolt’s record

So true

Facts right there

God bless prayers in Jesus name amen for healing and love and protection and comfort!!

💀💀

in professional running not everyone can wear them any athlete sponsored by a different company is now pretty much fucked. both the world record for men and women are in variations of the shoes and 5 of the top 10 best male marathon speeds of all time are in this line of shoes. the difference between first and second in a marathon is so small in percentages that a 4% difference is way too much of a difference to be fair

@@jda8557 is reverse engineering not a thing?

This sounds gross tbf

@@jda8557 Sponsored athletes won't be turned away if they go to the shops and ask for Nike shoes. Just because they've chosen to take a pay cheque from a different company doesn't make other shoes unavailable to them. If they have a free choice between HyperMegaShoe from Brand X but they choose a contract to run CrappyPoopyShoe from Brand Y then it is still a fair competition. What would be unfair would be if Brand X were to make HyperMegaShoe available to their contracted athletes only.

@@mig-f-8623 yes but patents are also a thing. You try making a pair of shoes with a fiber filled air bubble sandwiched between carbon fiber plates. See how long Nike let's it live 😅

When the KZfaq videos about the Nike Viper fang came out in late 2019, early 2020, I swear sebestian Coe was pissing himself, because they thought Coleman was too powerful for the last 40metre of 2019 Doha world champs. He was scared for bolts world record, must be of thought Coleman was going to break it in 2020!

God bless prayers in Jesus name amen for healing and love and protection and comfort!!

Thats completely different, engineering optimizations and breakthroughs are supposed to be part of racing cars, cars are the main part. Tha main part of a footrace is people, sure running shoes currently, are better than they used to be which is an advantage, but the advantage is minimising non-athletic factors from limiting an atheltes abilities(e.g. uneven surface, poor surface friction, lack of rigidity, etc),these shoes add engineer mechanical advantage outside the scope of natural human ability even in perfect conditions, thats the difference. Its basically legal doping. If your only gripe about doping is the potential harm it can do to atheltes, and not the fact it moves the intent of competition, than you don't care these exist(which is a valid opinion to have). But as long as the believe that spirit of the competition is, to measure a human beings capacity to run fast,not their ability to run fast assiested by pharmaceutical, mechanical, and/or biological(eventually when we start seeing genetic alteration in the zygomatic state of fetus') enhancement, than these shoes need to be banned, the same as any other form of doping.

@@nicholaskarras2759 Very well said 👍

The 787B. Same happened with the 69 Dodge Charger Daytona and 70 Road Runner Superbird. Banned for being too fast

I'm surprised I missed that, those would've been dope to cover also.

@@TheSprintProject_ there was a high tensile steel sprung runner used in i think the bosten marathon early 2000s it ws imbedded in the mid sole. an american company made them and didnt try to hide the tech. they sold like hot cakes. thre were 2 models from memory i saw them selling here in australia in fotlocker. but i think after 2 big city marathons where lots of the feild had purchased them they were banned for their catapulting affect. whish i cauld remember what they were called.

@@simonhunt9152 I disagree with the ban. The springs do not impart more energy to a runner's forward motion than he or she puts in (To the contrary, compressing a cheap foam shoe is just converting a bunch of energy to heat). In contrast, Alberto Salazar was probably taking lots of testosterone and blood doping till his eyes were red (This should not be taken literally) when he won his big marathons, but nobody took his wins away.

​@@hypothalapotamus5293 Sorry, you are wrong. The springs take some of the energy that would have been wasted in striking the ground & store it briefly as potential energy in the coiled spring, upon recoil that energy that would otherwise be wasted is released forward. This is why the shoes are banned & why people can run faster with them than without them. 😉

@@itzakehrenberg3449 I am not wrong. A spring may store energy and release it more efficiently than the human body, but the energy originated from the person. Thus it falls under energy waste reduction rather than actually adding energy. In bicycle racing, this is the difference between having a better bike with less drag and hiding an electric motor in your bike to actually add energy (which people actually have done). One is obviously cheating, but the other requires a careful discussion on what bicycle designs should be allowed. Despite how the argument is framed, carbon fiber inserts and springs are not equivalent to adding an electric motor to a bike because they do not add energy additional energy that did not come from the human body. They fall under the category of energy waste reduction where the limitations are more subjective. If we do a blanket ban on things that limit energy loss, we suddenly ban any added rigidity to shoes, traction aids, and even clothing items that prevent the unwanted flopping around of bodyparts (Jock straps and sports bras). If such a ban were to occur, Athletes would be running around barefoot and naked.

Facts

Of course he’ll be really fast. But if you have a shoe that, in all lab tests, make you .60 seconds faster across 100m, you’re not as good as Bolt, but that’s not what the records will show. It’s a new era. Records should reflect that.

@@iRunfastXC yeah a .6 second difference in a sport where high schoolers have come withing

Comming from Norway with lots of rain, snow and freezing temperatures, o do not think it will be a hit

Yu people are so fany,let them ran barefoot or with gumboots

Runners already destroy their feet in expensive tech-packed shoes, no matter what changes you make to the physical running surface running barefoot would only lead to worse health problems for athletes.

That would be too expensive. What makes track so popular is that it is the cheapest sport you can play and therefore accessible in poor countries.

​@@billy7975running barefoot is actually safer and healthier if they're already accustomed to it

@@Rockonymous same 💯

i would be so fast in those things getting from the parking lot to menchie’s

Most likely you just can't compete in them, don't think that they're actually against the law

It seems like there’s a fine line between what’s fair and not fair because that’s true as technology evolves the athletes are able to benefit more from it.

Late to the party here but I totally agree lol, dude could have spent literally 2 minutes learning to pronounce Kipchoge. The mispronounciation invalidates the credibility of what would otherwise have been a really good and informative video.

@@thechrix2500 His use of Reagan, Bush Sr and their war mongering cronies laughing at 2:33 is far more problematic than common mispronunciations.

Thanks bro

As a tradesman who works in chemical factories a lot, I am interested in trying these shoes. I use rubber boot covers but they rip very easily.

@huge_balls I would also like to know the chemicals your working with. I've been looking into what lab tables use for their protective liners. Usually it's a lot of plastics and paint coatings. I think kevlar will do well but may soak in the chemicals and cause rashes and iritation to the user. It may be best to just use a rubber attachment that wraps over the boot and provides a water tight seal. This will still break over time but will be cheaper then buying a brand new boot entirely over and over again. I'll have to look into testing this designe in the future and seeing how stream lined I can make it without compromising on the comfort of the user and the protection required for industrial tasks involving chemicals.

Thank you

Thank you!

Anytime you're going all out they will be good. They can feel strange when going at slower speeds.

Thank you Ravi 🙏🏻

I’ll look into them, and thank you Justin 🙏🏼

another example of this was bringing back zoom into the Nike football line, well that boot never even released or saw a production cycle, the next iteration of the mercurial was built of that prototype

Give them all super shoes

@@TheSprintProject_ for real then everyone can use their current maximum potential

But then they would not get sponsership deals by brands. No money would divert athletes from track to let's say some other sport.

They didn't release

Thank you 🙏🏻
