...for prosthetic running blades, anyhow.

I thought this was neat.  But then I thought about it some more.  Nike will add cushion to pretty much anything, huh?

I only counted 3 "swoosh" symbols on the shoes.  I would have expected more from Nike.  Normally every square inch of a Nike shoe has a "swoosh" on it somewhere.

You now owe Nike $5,000 in royalties for using the word swoosh twice!

They'll have to take me to court.  LOL.  I don't think they have the word "swoosh" patented, only the symbol.  They could just realize their folly and add a couple more "swoosh" symbols to the shoe so they can be on par with the rest of their products.  If they do, they should pay me for pointing it out to them.

I found a better photo.  I think this is the production model.  They fixed the issue you talked about with not enough branding.  Wink

Come to think of it, is kind of weird that the KomodoSport LS has more branding on it than these do....

I don't get this.  Wouldn't those running "blades" have some rubberized grips on the bottom to begin with?  Why does Nike need to make something additional that slips/clips on?

I would expect that the grip of the blades alone is probably removable and Nike felt they could make a better "shoe" for them. Another reason is because they can make money off of it.
