Shownotes

Taylor (lead trail reviewer of Believe in the Run) and I are long overdue on a Nike Trail Running episode.

They often get painted as the big bad wolf but today is not that kind of review. We're looking at their incredible trail team roster + analyzing their footwear philosophy and portfolio.

In this episode Josh learns there is such thing as a 'colorist' whose job is to create colorways. If you are a colorist, please join me on an episode.

  • a complex history with both positive and negative perceptions.
  • Investing in both ultra and sub-ultra trail running athletes.
  • Nike's approach to innovation is often secretive, leading to speculation
  • Nike's future in trail running looks promising.
  • The trail running community benefits from Nike's presence
