I AM so extremely proud of you Miss Felix. I will support your brand.
I was pretty blown away not just by Allyson's story, but the way she tells it. It's interesting to think about her in the context of other superstar athletes who made big, sometimes risky, decisions. She opted to have her brother represent her and broke away from the established agencies, just like LeBron James did with Rich Paul. Lots to explore here with a new generation of outspoken athletes taking more control of their own off-field, off-court, off-track destiny.
What a great interview! Thank you for sharing it. Allyson Felix is a champion in sports and in life. Through track-and-field, she found her true purpose--not only as an Olympic athlete, but also as a businesswoman and activist. Kudos to Allyson Felix.
I love how Mrs. Felix took control over her career and business. So extremely proud of them.
this women is the most accomplished female track and field athlete ever 7 Olympic gold medals, what a women Allyson felix
She’s also the most decorated Track and Field Olympian IN HISTORY!! ;DDDD!! ❤️❤️
As a Jamaican I miss you competing but then again I am relieve you retire miss you champion
Thats how you do it bravo Ayllson Felix! Create your own you dont need Nike you have name recognition, Gold Medals and resources. I wish you much success
Just discovered this! Amazed that it does not have millions of views, MAKES ME GO SHOPPING FOR HER SHOES!
Maximum respect to a lady extraordinaire 🙌🏿🙌🏿.
I ordered 3 pairs for women in my family just because Allyson Felix is somebody who represented her country with honour and always carried herself with the utmost pride and dignity who did it the right way.
I ordered non....in a few months ..it will be out with black owned .black women blah blah blah 💩💩💩💩💩 so no from me .
@@tobolee6385Bye Hater!
She is one of the greatest Olympic track athletes of our time, perhaps the greatest ever. I believe a majority of her races, especially early in her career, were clean. Meaning she did not take any performance enhancing drugs (EPO, amphetamines, steroids, blood doping, etc.) to compete in races where her competitors were taking those drugs. I can't think of too many other athletes who were so gifted, so skilled, and so dedicated that they could dominate without the wonders of modern pharmacological intervention.
What an amazing interview. Thank you
Awesome athlete on & off the field! There’re things I wasn’t aware of before this interview! I know she’ll be just as successful now as she was an athlete!
She’s a living legend off and on the track. Thanks to her Nike now have back pedal and changed their whole trajectory of manipulating women in sports, giving them maternity compensation. I am happy her brand is getting bigger and more recognized. Congratulations Ms. Felix❤❤❤
15:41 - Those words on her Instagram post Hit HARD!!!
Very beautiful interview 😍
Allison Felix is the most accomplished and the greatest athlete in our lifetime!! A true icon and a wonder woman !!
Love this lady. Champion!
She is my favorite athlete, I Proudly support her journey in Field and Track❤❤📌🌹
Selfless hero who made impacts way beyond herself. Always rooted for her and always will!
I love everything Allyson represents! She is the best of America.
I like how he tried to make it about race and she didnt take the bait.
It is about race. It totally changes the game and shifts the balance of power when black entertainers create their own brand/company.
@@srose2003 There is only a "balance of power" if you are a racist.
Track and Field athletes, Olympians and sports world wide; do you see how beautiful her skin is…no tattoos! That’s class that can’t be matched, if you do.
I'm going to buy your shoes for my daughter my daughter-in-law and my wife and my other daughter-in-law and grand daughter immediately
Awesome interview 👏🏾
So inspiring , graceful, athlete,
We need to reform running into a financially lucrative career so that runners don’t have to solely depend on shoe companies for salaries and sponsors. Unfortunately running bosses want to preserve its culture even when it keeps the runners so broke.
Outstanding interview and insight on this amazing Olympian.
So articulate and intelligent, Ally is a true champion.
One Love, from this Jamaican Miss Allyson!
I still dont get it...why did Nike snub her? Shelly ann fraser pryce also had a baby and Nike kept sponsoring her and she want on to make even faster times after her baby....
I admire her even more. ❤❤❤
Respect to Allyson Felix
Well done Allyson…well done.
BTW…the interviewer that bullied teenage Venus? He’s learnt to ask the right questions?
My favorite athlete of alll time
Alison, I’m so proud of your accomplishments and the pathway that you have created for women.😊
Always loved Allyson. She is a class action. I hope she is very successful in this endeavor also.
What a class act!!!
Am I alone in thinking Nike backdoored Allyson for leaving and used industry political pressure to discourage other shoe rivals from making her an offer?
BRAVO you did it your way and you and your brother
MADE IT HAPPEN
Mind blowing that women's shoes were made from a mould that was built on a mans foot!
Bless you
What is the name of the Allyson Felix Runner shoe;she and Wes created and where to purchase??
Saysh
She's simply amazing.
A truly CLEAN talented athlete.
Shame on Nike
No other way to say it: Nike really f'ed up here. They had a chance to shine and they somehow snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
When she said abouy Osaka, the issue of abortion popped in my mind, on how it just only focuses on being successful for women
dangit... I never knew Torie Bowie died....what a way to find out
❤lovely how you and your family worked together to build your brand
Thanks for this great interview with this great female athlete 👏👍I will definitely check out her tennis shoes 👟
Some no female executives at Nike have never given birth? Unbelievable.
Bananas level mindset in Allyson Felix.
So inspiring !! thanks for this
I don’t get why there isn’t more focus on Nike constantly being on the wrong side of issues. They were the last major brand to drop Oscar Pistorius. They cancelled the deal with Kyrie yet in the same breath they stood by Cristiano Ronaldo. And this, the brand harm they cause themselves by failing to make basic PR decisions at a minimum needs to be studied
this woman is a legend
For Sure this is Your Calling AF
This is the exact kind of thing That positions Black people to lead in!
Keep Going There are lots to do!
Nike routinely undervalues athletes in the less popular sports - women, men...makes no difference. That's not exactly a shocker. Look at their parting ways with Roger Federer in 2018 after 20 years rather than pay him on the same scale as someone like LeBron James. They repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot - pun intneded.
were can i purchase the shoe!!!
My fav female track star ever
Wow, she IS AMAZING ❤
Allyson Felix, I love you. You truly inspire others.
She is the best
Go Allison!
She should have a men’s shoe offering. Don’t leave money on the table Allyson
I wouldn't disagree with that. My husband asked about that when I bought my first pair.
@@RebeccaTaylorTillery a open market benefits many I think.
@mack-uv6gn it would. But, at least right now, she is trying to get her shoes off and running. So I think right now she should focus on the one thing. When she gets truly established, then I think she can expand if she wants to.
Brilliant!!
Super inspiring!!!
Love you hun
I don’t buy bike anymore
What type of pregnancy is she describing? and what are the complications with the maternity ward that she is describing? I never had any kids & I don't understand her lingo.
NICU sounds like some kind of intensive care unit. Assuming baby was premature.
Why that Allyson Felix .although that she's Actually sharing same exact birthday, same day, and born in the same year (November 18,1985) like her including with My family member of the Bushes (Larry "Scorpio" W.Drummer, Jr.), Amber Marie Jackson Busby (Maternal cousin of a McIntyre, Georgia, USA native former beauty pageant, reality star,2023 graduate of the Warriors (WCHS of Irwinton,GA, USA) and now attended college is Alana Frances " Honey Boo Boo" Thompson/only female of Joanne "Doe Doe" Shannon/mom of one today), Bart Kwan, Christian Siriano, Adriaan Strauss ,Hiromi Miyake ,Shannon Morse,Nabila Syakieb,Curtis Grimes,Bastien Salabanzi, Johnny Gates, Nadine Nyadjo , Anderson Boyd,Melanie Behringer ,MELODY GERSBACH, Alexander Gabrielsen,KELLY YUAN-CHUNG MA (daughter of Ma Ying-jeou),Sofia Österborg Wiklund,Amanda Sørensen ,Anna Reymer,Mike Gibson (American Football),Rex Goudie,Marika Minami,Brandon Bryant (whistleblower), Bruce Billings, Lindsey Nelson, Melvin King, and Yuka Okazaki

👍
The focus on black women athletes rather than women athletes is quite shameful and that's kind of racism. Should have focused on women athletes as they also feel the same way
It is. But is also appropriate to consider that white women will get a deal with Nike. Not due to racism but because they have a large audience.
Amy, it’s obvious you haven’t experienced racism! Anyway, do a little research on the extensive study on Black women (done by Whites) and the medical field, and you’ll find out how racism is practiced in the medical field! But I’m not going to waste my time on ignorance. Allyson Felix is a role model both and off the field!! Intelligent thinking people will see the value of what she’s saying and doing, both Black, White, and ALL women!!❤
I see first hand the inequalities in black maternal care.😢 . I see where 90% of the bad outcomes were for black babies for a period of time even though black patients make up 1% of births. This is sad . Thankfully more eyes are open to this and we are making strategic changes to make things better. Overall the staff is not ‘racist’ maybe , but they have ingrained biases that impact the decisions they make and sadly they don’t realize that.
@@heyjoey009black patients make up 1% births? Where do these statistics come from?
@@Romans8-9 Just to clarify. I work in a birthing unit where black patents make up about 1% of birth but have the highest adverse outcomes.
That’s it? That’s the big deal? she starts a shoe company😂
I think Allyson Felix is a wonderful person.
❤lovely how you and your family worked together to build your brand
