It took 22 days to break out the runners; allow me to blow your brain wide open like the legs of a lady giving birf:
These bad boys are Mizunos, and whether you're running a marathon, or from the Law, they're the move!
I earned the medal, not the shiny silver bracelets.
That shot of the police car is from August, when I went on a ride-along with a buddy of mine who's a cop.
That photo wasn't taken after they mistakenly let me out on bail...
The story you read on this blog from a couple of days ago, about fantasizing about robbing a bank wearing sweet shoes, was for entertainment purposes only!
They didn't resurrect Sherlock Holmes, to solve a 130 year old cold case, by finding me blogging about shoes and then inadvertently confessing to a crime that was never committed over a century ago...
Come on people, stay with me!
Put down the pop tart and pay attention!
We're gonna get through this, I promise.
Mizunos!
These shoes are made in Japan, so between these shoes and the last, you can rest assured I'm doing my part to keep the trade balance evenly distributed between our two Asian manufacturing partners.
As professionally designed running shoes, you can see that form and function were thoughtfully considered here.
Those lines along the side, along with the beveled silver material that extends slightly outward just above the heel - you see those there?
With the well-timed, careful application of your stride, those were engineered to minimize drag with each step, and as your foot comes down to meet the running path, those aerodynamic accents create 'lift'
as your feet approach the concrete.
The base of these shoes are just as important:
You see all the varying tread lines, spaces, and gaps in the sole of these shoes?
Meant for a secure and firm grip on whatever terrain you're traversing, right?
WRONG!
You see, these shoes were designed for racing; both for sprinting AND marathons.
To win, you gotta beat your opponents.
The color scheme on the base of these shoes, coupled with the varying depths and incongruous zig zag patterning, these are scientifically designed and intentionally arranged.
To make your opponents, the people you need to BEAT to win the race, experience subtle, subliminal, untoward effects.
When they see the rhythmic pounding of your feet on the cement in front of you, they get disoriented, scared, and nauseous.
In fact, they usually throw up all over themselves. They can't help it!
SCIENCE bitches!
Once you take pole position (in a race, not a peeler joint), you're good.
Mizunos.
They'll make you fly ✈️,
and your opponents barf 🤮
And THAT'S a winning combination!
