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.
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...
I'm sure Bolts shoes were way better than Carl Lewis's, and even more better than the shoes Jesse Owens wore. Technology has always and will always contribute to athletes performing at a higher level. Should Tiger Woods not get the same amount of credit as Nicklaus or Palmer. It's always been this way and it always will
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
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.
every single sport has better tech and equipment than years earlier. Hockey sticks, skates, tennis racquets, basketball shoes, bicycles,soccer cleats, etc ..
If everyone can wear them it is not cheating. Also for those afraid of old pre-viperfly records being broken their is this thing in Video-game speed-running where there are different categories (any %, 100%, glitch less, scriped just to name a few). Could there be different categories of records in the running world (i.e.normal running shoes, vs viperfly technology) sort of like in gaming?
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

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.
Awesome video as always, for my part I'm french and I love how easy, clear and well explained all your videos are. You really deserve more visibility, good luck forthe future :)
Maybe Usain Bolt’s records seem untouchable because he was really fast. Maybe the guy who breaks them will be really fast. It would take a whole lot of speed to break the record, I don’t care what you put on your feet
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.
I think that they should adapt the track field so you can run barefoot, which is beneficial for balance and it wouldn't affect speed if the traction with the track is firm. It would make all of this shoe related problems go away, although only for short races.
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.
Let's not forget the banned shoes from the NBA which has been discovered they had springs. Even if it's not the same story, it should be taking in account
@@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.
Love your channel, you have no idea how huge your videos help me in understanding the mechanics of sprinting, hope your channel grows so much bigger, respect bro! 🙏🏻
i actually run track and ill be aiming to run in the 2024 olympics as my first attempt n lemme tell you, the maxfly nike spikes do have a little bounce to it
BTW Jesse Owens was running on dirt track.....Bolt was running on soft, bouncy tarmac.....and even the Tokyo Olympic track was exceptionally bouncy reportedly by several pro athletes......point being, Jesse Owens was running in baggy pants and A shirt, on a dirt track, Bolt was running on a bouncy tarmac track in speedsuit that in itself can be 0.2 or 0.3 seconds advantage, so with today's standards Owens was running a 9.7 anyways....so Bolt after all, not that good that he should be afraid of "losing" his records, which he eventually will anyways....
Love how your videos keep improving in every way (though they were always good). Re shoe technology, I would like to see the emphasis shifted from shoe technology to track technology. In that it would give everyone the same advantage, it would be more democratic. Sure, tracks are obviously much better than the cinders I ran on in high school (the 60s). Still, for me anyway as an aging sprinter, they are more difficult than sprinting on roads with decent running shoes (where I feel like I'm flying).
I understand they're illegal but is there a way to obtain them? I don't see why it would be a problem to just use them recreationally with your friends.
Becouse it was just a marketing stunt. They never worked as advertized, and if they never relesed them nobody could check them. And all others boots of this line get hype from them, without any disputable claims.
I'm buying my first spikes. Never had spikes before. On the tracks, what's the MINIMUM speed per mile I should be doing on the tracks so that they don't feel strange on my feet??
I think shoe technology has always been advancing. Every time there's been a major step in technology, old records have fallen. Gotta keep up with the times.
Doping = providing energy not naturally present, these shoes don’t do that. Technology has always moved on, bolt wasn’t wearing the same shoes that the first 100m olympic champion won, nor on the same track, and definitely using better technology to analyse his race.
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.
I don't get it. Sport's technology advances every time. It makes little by little changes but it is continuous. There is a huge difference between advancing the technology vs implementing a device that helps (which would be cheating). I honestly don't understand why it is controversial at all.
Its nice to see competition. I've always been interested in making shoes more useful then just slabs of rubber. I work in highly stressful inviroment where we are always on our feet. This technology will aid in my research and development on my project. To build I pair of shoes that at its core are for working out and running and are designed to be machine washable but the exo skeleton design will allow it to become more versatile by providing added benefits for harsh inviroments were toxic chemicals will be around along with heavy metals and a chance of an engine block falling on your feet not to mention long periods of walking running and standing waiting for something. They aren't finished and probably won't be for a while but when they are finished I plane to release the blueprints and design to everyone so you all can 3D print the components nessesary and buy the nessesary hardware to make your own.
@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.
As much as I appreciate the informative content of this video, I do not think it is okay to not mispronounce Kipchoge as many times as was done here. I believe great research, time and effort has been put into this video, therefore, even just a fraction of that time should have gone into learning how to pronounce his name right. KIPOGI/ Kipogee sounds nothing like Kipchoge. I understand that it can be hard to pronounce names that one may not be used to, but given the amount of marathon content and videos of Kipchoge I see and having watched some of them myself, I know the pundits and the commentators mention his name numerous times. you could have at least drawn from there. However, I still appreciate what I have learnt from this video. This is just my feedback
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.
All forms of racing are about technological improvement, it doesn't undermine how great of a runner Usain Bolt was it just allows current sprinters to push the limit even further.
LOOK! I get the controversy around it. The logic behind saying that these shoes give an unfair advantage true, BUT the same can be said for every record broken. Bolts shoes were better than decades of previous record holders. They should do a massive project to compare the evolution of shoes. Compare the average advantage a shoe gives and then inflate past record for and “unofficial” record tally. That’s a more fair way to do it. We can guess how fast previous generations of runners would be with modern foot wear. Technology can still advance, and we can still get a better idea of how fast previous generations of runners would have been. Idk
Theres a lot of factors that come into play when beating records running, the shoes might help in some instances by an extremely small amount, but if everything else arent on point the viperfly nikies wont make you win by themselves. Bolt is tall super strong, crazy genetics, big legs and he can move like a 5ft guy, thats what makes him special, the shoes only add maybe 1% if that. Now running marathons is different, the shoes little difference will always make a difference in the long run of 2 hours. I bet the first time he ran 2hours 5 minutes without viperflys was a LOT harder than to be the 2 hour mark with viperflys.
It’s almost like there aren’t hundred billion dollar industries out there explicitly trying to find technological advances that will make sports stars perform better.
What about how Nike has a history with ambush marketing which means that TheNew York Times, could’ve been paid to report the stats about the efficiency of the shoes. Not really defending Nike… just food for thought
Why cant they just release them and certain event planners can just ban them? Im sure the general public would love a shoe that can make them run faster for the casual run.
The idea that using new advanced ways of shoes and running is undermining the past, basically is saying we should stop using track spikes and go back to old-timey running shoes.
you have to divide time by the rate of improvement plus 1, old time = space/velocity --> new time = space/new velocity = space/velocity(1+improvement) = old time / (1+improvement). The results will not change thought, because 1/1+x tends to 1-x for small x

the biggest change to track times in the past 75 years was changing the composition of the tracks themselves, so having better shoes shouldnt be such a controversy.
they did a whole press run about the future of zoom, which included the Breaking2 project. But due to Covid like many things, everything was delayed. They even have basketball shoes from that announcement finally getting released such as the GT line
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
6:20 ish You should know that the Marathon world record was held by Dennis Kimetto and was 2 hours, 2 minutes and 57 seconds. That is almost 3% slower than Kipchoge's best of 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. 7180s/7377s is roughly 2.67%. Also not even one athlete runs the marathon and has surpassed Kimetto's previous world record without wearing Nike's shoe. Also Dennis wore adidas adizero adios which did not have a carbon plate nor air spring loaded pockets.
Like a moto gp, everyone can use advance tech but still use the same tire. nba also does the same for shoe technology so that players don't cheat when jumping
Most people don't even know that these shoe don't make you 4% faster, but 4% in efficiency. It's not cheating at all if you wear a shoe that can utilize one's full potential. Not everybody has the same feet. Some have thin and thick skin which may affect responsiveness and durability during long or short runs. Comfortable and Good shoe don't make them fast but make them efficient which result in less injury which also make them possible to continue the run effortlessly. In the end, people will wear something that's comfortable and feels exciting when running.
I remember seeing something about how these shoes supposedly allowed athletes to "receive more force than they put into the ground" which goes against the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Unless the shoes are somehow powered or atomically deconstructing to turn mass into energy, it's BS.
Hey bro do you think you could go over a video on how to mentally prepare for a race or bounce back from bad races I feel like I’ve hit a wall in my times and I could really use the help thanks 🙏
Either the Olympics make a regulation shoe or make them run without them. The problem with the second option is that current records can't be remeasured and would have to remain untouched or in a separate with-shoe category. Running on track barefoot is also not exactly the most comfortable thing to do. If they did this for track it would make sense they do it for other events like swimming too but swimmers can't just swim naked unless they really wanted too. So if they're so picky about technology they should either make regulation equipment, and or create a new separate category which allows all types of technologies. This makes it similar to Formula 1 racing where the cars themselves are always improving year after year alongside each other. However that is a lot more oriented around technology which is why I think making 2 categories, 1 controlled technology and 1 open technology category would allow sponsors and sports companies to further running technology not just for elite athletes and olympians but also the general public.
slightly less propolsive but everyone is trying to copy and a lot of elites have customised nike uppers to look like there own sponsored shoe at a glance
For me as an F1 this feels like Nike got robbed. In my Sport technology is pushed to the limit and I really feel a bit when it is forbidden in other sports.
In the l968 Olympic Trials John Carlos ran in technology advanced shoes which had brush spikes, instead of the normal spikes at the time, and broke the world record in them. It was never officially ratified. All of the sprinters shoes today would have been illegal in l968. This type improvement will probably continue for a long, long, time. And so will the controversy.
A good solution is for 100m races to be run barefooted. This would have given Bolt a huge advantage because he preferred to run races barefooted when he was younger. That 100m world record would have been much lower if he had gone barefooted. Why do I say this? Well, an untied shoe is more of a hinderance than an aid because it causes an awkward, off-balance stride. That 9.58 record was set in an untied shoe. No excuses.

I think that they should adapt the track field so you can run barefoot, which is beneficial for balance and it wouldn't affect speed if the traction with the track is firm. It would make all of this shoe related problems go away, although only for short races.
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
Let's not forget the banned shoes from the NBA which has been discovered they had springs. Even if it's not the same story, it should be taking in account
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.
Love your channel, you have no idea how huge your videos help me in understanding the mechanics of sprinting, hope your channel grows so much bigger, respect bro! 🙏🏻
Thank you man, I really appreciate that. Also you a real one for checking out the vid so early. Got a lot of dope vids coming. 🙏🏻

Unbelievable editing for a TH-camr. Must have taken you ages. Just subscribed.
Haha thanks and welcome to the Channel!
i actually run track and ill be aiming to run in the 2024 olympics as my first attempt n lemme tell you, the maxfly nike spikes do have a little bounce to it
You've been able to test them out? I haven't been able to find them anywhere.
@@TheSprintProject_ no i havnt been able to find those exact ones just the modified ones that are legal
@@pierres3xare you gonna run in the olympics?
Dude your editing and presentation is sick!
Thank you!
BTW Jesse Owens was running on dirt track.....Bolt was running on soft, bouncy tarmac.....and even the Tokyo Olympic track was exceptionally bouncy reportedly by several pro athletes......point being, Jesse Owens was running in baggy pants and A shirt, on a dirt track, Bolt was running on a bouncy tarmac track in speedsuit that in itself can be 0.2 or 0.3 seconds advantage, so with today's standards Owens was running a 9.7 anyways....so Bolt after all, not that good that he should be afraid of "losing" his records, which he eventually will anyways....
yeah I think he's holding on it too tightly
Yeah holding it for more than a decade is already a really big brag
I think there should be a section of the Olympics where companies attempt to engineer the best technology for an event.
Love how your videos keep improving in every way (though they were always good). Re shoe technology, I would like to see the emphasis shifted from shoe technology to track technology. In that it would give everyone the same advantage, it would be more democratic. Sure, tracks are obviously much better than the cinders I ran on in high school (the 60s). Still, for me anyway as an aging sprinter, they are more difficult than sprinting on roads with decent running shoes (where I feel like I'm flying).
God bless prayers in Jesus name amen for healing and love and protection and comfort!!
Love the video and really good editing 😍🔥
Thank you Maria! 😀
I understand they're illegal but is there a way to obtain them? I don't see why it would be a problem to just use them recreationally with your friends.
@@countcxntessa I know. I'm already a fast runner but if I had these I would be unbeatable 😂
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
Becouse it was just a marketing stunt. They never worked as advertized, and if they never relesed them nobody could check them. And all others boots of this line get hype from them, without any disputable claims.
I continuously find myself on this channel. Love the content
I'm buying my first spikes. Never had spikes before. On the tracks, what's the MINIMUM speed per mile I should be doing on the tracks so that they don't feel strange on my feet??
Anytime you're going all out they will be good. They can feel strange when going at slower speeds.
I think shoe technology has always been advancing. Every time there's been a major step in technology, old records have fallen. Gotta keep up with the times.
God bless prayers in Jesus name amen for healing and love and protection and comfort!!
Doping = providing energy not naturally present, these shoes don’t do that. Technology has always moved on, bolt wasn’t wearing the same shoes that the first 100m olympic champion won, nor on the same track, and definitely using better technology to analyse his race.
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.
I can't help but laugh every time he tries to say Eliud Kipchoge's name
I don't get it. Sport's technology advances every time. It makes little by little changes but it is continuous. There is a huge difference between advancing the technology vs implementing a device that helps (which would be cheating). I honestly don't understand why it is controversial at all.
no way he quotes someone with that username at 3:30 😂
Its nice to see competition. I've always been interested in making shoes more useful then just slabs of rubber. I work in highly stressful inviroment where we are always on our feet. This technology will aid in my research and development on my project. To build I pair of shoes that at its core are for working out and running and are designed to be machine washable but the exo skeleton design will allow it to become more versatile by providing added benefits for harsh inviroments were toxic chemicals will be around along with heavy metals and a chance of an engine block falling on your feet not to mention long periods of walking running and standing waiting for something. They aren't finished and probably won't be for a while but when they are finished I plane to release the blueprints and design to everyone so you all can 3D print the components nessesary and buy the nessesary hardware to make your own.
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.
As much as I appreciate the informative content of this video, I do not think it is okay to not mispronounce Kipchoge as many times as was done here. I believe great research, time and effort has been put into this video, therefore, even just a fraction of that time should have gone into learning how to pronounce his name right. KIPOGI/ Kipogee sounds nothing like Kipchoge. I understand that it can be hard to pronounce names that one may not be used to, but given the amount of marathon content and videos of Kipchoge I see and having watched some of them myself, I know the pundits and the commentators mention his name numerous times. you could have at least drawn from there. However, I still appreciate what I have learnt from this video. This is just my feedback
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.
I like everyone in the background that turns around because they don’t want to disturb the video
All forms of racing are about technological improvement, it doesn't undermine how great of a runner Usain Bolt was it just allows current sprinters to push the limit even further.
There needs to be one for sprinters too where they try to run the first sub 19 200m
@nike
Sprint shoes are always for 100-400m
LOOK! I get the controversy around it. The logic behind saying that these shoes give an unfair advantage true, BUT the same can be said for every record broken. Bolts shoes were better than decades of previous record holders. They should do a massive project to compare the evolution of shoes. Compare the average advantage a shoe gives and then inflate past record for and “unofficial” record tally. That’s a more fair way to do it. We can guess how fast previous generations of runners would be with modern foot wear. Technology can still advance, and we can still get a better idea of how fast previous generations of runners would have been. Idk
Everybody gangsta until Husain Bolt wear Crocs in sports mode
Theres a lot of factors that come into play when beating records running, the shoes might help in some instances by an extremely small amount, but if everything else arent on point the viperfly nikies wont make you win by themselves.
Bolt is tall super strong, crazy genetics, big legs and he can move like a 5ft guy, thats what makes him special, the shoes only add maybe 1% if that.
Now running marathons is different, the shoes little difference will always make a difference in the long run of 2 hours.
I bet the first time he ran 2hours 5 minutes without viperflys was a LOT harder than to be the 2 hour mark with viperflys.
It’s almost like there aren’t hundred billion dollar industries out there explicitly trying to find technological advances that will make sports stars perform better.
The only error in the video technically is usage of ‘ > ’ & ‘ < ‘ . I had to comment this .
What happened to the golf cart at 1:36
Haha
when equipment is too op and everyone calls for a nerf
What about how Nike has a history with ambush marketing which means that TheNew York Times, could’ve been paid to report the stats about the efficiency of the shoes. Not really defending Nike… just food for thought
random idea: there could be a “old school” track and field and a modern one with all the shoes and wavelight pacing
Why cant they just release them and certain event planners can just ban them? Im sure the general public would love a shoe that can make them run faster for the casual run.
The idea that using new advanced ways of shoes and running is undermining the past, basically is saying we should stop using track spikes and go back to old-timey running shoes.
you have to divide time by the rate of improvement plus 1, old time = space/velocity --> new time = space/new velocity = space/velocity(1+improvement) = old time / (1+improvement). The results will not change thought, because 1/1+x tends to 1-x for small x
🤯
I caught the same mistake and called him out on it.
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...
Where do you buy the Nike viper fly air zoom cleats I can’t find them anywhere

One of the craziest marketing, and it's free. Whoever designed that should get a promotion.

the biggest change to track times in the past 75 years was changing the composition of the tracks themselves, so having better shoes shouldnt be such a controversy.
u r doing great effort in a simple way of expressing ❤️❤️
As soon as you see how they work, it makes sense why they're banned from official track events.
5% faster is not 5% less time. Following the logic you used, if it was 100% faster, it would take 0 seconds to finish the run
Bolt has the technique AND the speed! Not many sprinters have both to break his records!
This would be a great video
If there weren’t an ad every 2 seconds
I’ve never heard someone have such trouble saying Kipchoge’s name 😂
cool story
lol i love how the golf car cane back
This is such a dope vid!
Thank you!
10:10 That's why Ancient Greeks where competing naked in Olympics 😉 They were more wise than what we are now.
they did a whole press run about the future of zoom, which included the Breaking2 project. But due to Covid like many things, everything was delayed. They even have basketball shoes from that announcement finally getting released such as the GT line
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
6:20 ish You should know that the Marathon world record was held by Dennis Kimetto and was 2 hours, 2 minutes and 57 seconds. That is almost 3% slower than Kipchoge's best of 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. 7180s/7377s is roughly 2.67%. Also not even one athlete runs the marathon and has surpassed Kimetto's previous world record without wearing Nike's shoe. Also Dennis wore adidas adizero adios which did not have a carbon plate nor air spring loaded pockets.
"air zoom pods" - bruh, im dying
bro the dudes name at 3:30 is so wild
Shoes should be given by Olympics...
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.
If that pair of shoes can break Usain Bolt's record then Usain Bolt should use it to break the record of all those who break his record
Isn't he in his 30s now? He can't run like he used to, athletics is for the youth
@@mme.veronica735 If Usain announce that he is returning to track, all the stars in his event will quiver in their shoes.
Are the nike victory spike allowed in competition
Like a moto gp, everyone can use advance tech but still use the same tire. nba also does the same for shoe technology so that players don't cheat when jumping
Most people don't even know that these shoe don't make you 4% faster, but 4% in efficiency. It's not cheating at all if you wear a shoe that can utilize one's full potential. Not everybody has the same feet. Some have thin and thick skin which may affect responsiveness and durability during long or short runs. Comfortable and Good shoe don't make them fast but make them efficient which result in less injury which also make them possible to continue the run effortlessly. In the end, people will wear something that's comfortable and feels exciting when running.
Imo giving you false efficiency like that is dumb. Its like wearing flippers for swimming.
@@achilles872 Except flippers would be part of swimming already in that case
the dudes name at 3:30 lmfaooooo
I remember seeing something about how these shoes supposedly allowed athletes to "receive more force than they put into the ground" which goes against the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Unless the shoes are somehow powered or atomically deconstructing to turn mass into energy, it's BS.
Im betting it was some Facebook post

Thank you
Which type of shoes can I use for
High jump
Either the Olympics make a regulation shoe or make them run without them.
The problem with the second option is that current records can't be remeasured and would have to remain untouched or in a separate with-shoe category. Running on track barefoot is also not exactly the most comfortable thing to do.
If they did this for track it would make sense they do it for other events like swimming too but swimmers can't just swim naked unless they really wanted too.
So if they're so picky about technology they should either make regulation equipment, and or create a new separate category which allows all types of technologies. This makes it similar to Formula 1 racing where the cars themselves are always improving year after year alongside each other. However that is a lot more oriented around technology which is why I think making 2 categories, 1 controlled technology and 1 open technology category would allow sponsors and sports companies to further running technology not just for elite athletes and olympians but also the general public.
Are the Nike Maxfly’s pretty much the same thing?
slightly less propolsive but everyone is trying to copy and a lot of elites have customised nike uppers to look like there own sponsored shoe at a glance
Were they ever for sale or just samples
My local track is ASPHALT. What is the best sprint shoe? Thanks
Okay have a race barefoot and then one with brilliantly crafted shoes to see how fast we can fucking get
you said they cant be found anywhere , but like you have them?

where can you buy nike viperflys
nvm
Yup
oky oky what if Usain Bolt wear these spikes in his prime 😂
technological progress is different from putting carbon blades in a shoe😅😅
ill use an old scooter next race
You keep talking about how its nike against bolt but what if bolt just wore them too lmao i might sound very dumb rn
For me as an F1 this feels like Nike got robbed. In my Sport technology is pushed to the limit and I really feel a bit when it is forbidden in other sports.
Increase in 3% performance due to the shoes does not equate direct reduction in the timing by 3%. Its not the way to calculate the benefits.
In the l968 Olympic Trials John Carlos ran in technology advanced shoes which had brush spikes, instead of the normal spikes at the time, and broke the world record in them. It was never officially ratified.
All of the sprinters shoes today would have been illegal in l968.
This type improvement will probably continue for a long, long, time. And so will the controversy.
I ran a 0.3 under ussain bolts record time for 100 meters... I was wearing a pair of Adidas superstar and I was 22 years old.... I got video proof too
A good solution is for 100m races to be run barefooted. This would have given Bolt a huge advantage because he preferred to run races barefooted when he was younger. That 100m world record would have been much lower if he had gone barefooted. Why do I say this? Well, an untied shoe is more of a hinderance than an aid because it causes an awkward, off-balance stride. That 9.58 record was set in an untied shoe. No excuses.
to get the number that is less by 3% than the original number just multiply the original number by .97
They released now correct?
They released a different version
