Nike TVad run barefoot

[blackjoe1992]

i kno that guy he coaches for buffalo

[officechronic]

at the beginning i thought there is going to be a joke about seamen.

[anUHkins]

your laying claim to why normal shoes suck because injury rates syrocketed when the cortez was invented in 72? you are aware the 70s was also the running boom?

[algismorales]

Barefoot running means BAREfoot running! Not running in Vibrams, or Nike Free!

[nickmorganmusic]

@algismorales amen. just run with out shoes.

[XDeuce1]

So many opinions in here and people claiming facts which I question how they know for certain. Here are some facts I know to be true:

I run barefoot

I love it

No injuries

Argue with that. If you dont believe me, so what. Go find your own facts.

[mobytoss]

I hate this stupid barefoot fad, it's just a trend that companies like Vibram are using to sell overpriced junk shoes. A few misinterpreted correlating data, a lot of runners buying shoes without proper fitting or sizing, a lot of people running with poor technique, a disgustingly romanticised book and people suddenly think running barefoot is better. Yes you can learn good technique from it, (using more forefoot to absorb impact) no it is not better for you. I agree this shoe is stupid though

[CrazyHermit]

@mobytoss i agree the nike free's stink, but minimal/barefoot running is good for training or even racing. i ran in vibrams and yes, i can agree that they are making a profit, but i have not been injured or taking days off because of pains. no i don't have perfect feet in the words of a podiatrist

[TheQuietObserver01]

@mobytoss Haha vibrams... I say it's a relatively (compared to industry giants like Nike and New Balance) small company's attempt at aggressive expansionism into the mainstream running industry, by claiming to spearhead an industry trend that goes against 40 years of running footwear development. The industry was due for a dramatic shift anyway, you can only make a shoe so cushioned, so stable, so excessive. But to completely overhaul it by telling people to run on 4mm is excessive too

[XDeuce1]

@mobytoss just saw a dog outside running barefoot. Guess he was taking part in this trend too. Oh, and those humans who lived thousands of years before running shoes were invented. Despite what may be said, and any facts people claim, here are some I found for myself:

I run barefoot

I love it

I have no injuries

[josephgrovers]

If they really wanted us to run barefoot, they wouldn't be marketing horrible shoes that ruin our feet. Even when they try to take a shot at a barefoot shoe, they still mess up and make a shoe with a big ramp from the front to back, put one inch under the hell, etc. What they need to do is make a minimalist shoe, a light shoe with barely any material on top, and a tiny yet durable sole on the bottom. Sort of like the Vibram Five Fingers, which are the best running shoes available.

[CrazyHermit]

@josephgrovers i agree, thats the irony in Nike. people still run heel to toe in those shoes anyways

[Paulmaxrobert]

running barefoot is also really stupid as you are so much more prone to having an injury!

THATS WHY HUMANS INVENTED SHOES IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

[sidsarkar]

@Paulmaxrobert ...Are you out of your mind? Shoes always cause more injuries, it has been very well documented and they are unhygenic as well. Running barefoot will keep you injury free.

[simplyianm]

@sidsarkar Tell me that after running a cross-country race over pebbles...

[CrazyHermit]

@simplyianm did that, felt pretty good

[TheQuietObserver01]

@sidsarkar to an extent, but there will always be instances where we need some kind of footwear to make up for our relatively soft and squishy human feet. Would you run Badwater or Hardrock barefoot?

[TheQuietObserver01]

Nike Free 3.0 should be the only Free. Everything else is just an ordinary running shoe with cuts in it

[TheQuietObserver01]

@Paulmaxrobert humans invented shoes to counteract the invention of paved roads

[CrazyHermit]

@TheQuietObserver01 well here's my observation. i ran barefoot once on a sidewalk, my forefoot softly landed on there like a plane or a bird landing. when i ran on the grass, it was still a soft landing, but a little harder because the feet is looking for more stable ground. so its the other way around for inventing shoes.

[TheQuietObserver01]

@CrazyHermit By other way around, do you mean that shoe should be invented so that they allow the 'anticipation' of landing on hard ground (eg. thin soled shoes) Or are you just pointing out the fact that modern shoes are invented to offer a more stable platform for your foot strike? Sorry I just didn't quite get your point there. I think your foot landed more softly on pavement because your body ANTICIPATED a softer surface to land on, therefore getting away with a harder landing.

[TheQuietObserver01]

@CrazyHermit and continue my point, you landed on the pavement softer, because your body intrinsically anticipated a very hard surface and adjusted its biomechanics accordingly. I think people tend to a bit MORE lightfooted on unstable terrain instead of heavier footed, if you want to keep 'softer' and 'unstable' separate. If you blindfolded yourself on grass, you would have taken away your body's ability to anticipate, and your body might land softer as a precautionary act

[rhodestrackandfield]

@TheQuietObserver01 im going to have to disagree... shoes were invented long before roads were, and they were thin sandals to protect from cuts or bruising from sharp rocks. no arch support, no motion control. just protection from cuts and bruising.

[TheQuietObserver01]

@rhodestrackandfield Sorry I was being a little facetious with that comment...the "full length" comment would have gone something like: footwear companies invented modern day cushioned shoes to protect runners (and eventually joggers) from less-than-ideal running surfaces, namely roads/pavement. Yes, footwear probably existed long before people knew how many bones were present in the foot, or had any conception of "ideal gait mechanics". Shoes essentially eliminate the need to develop callouses

[CrazyHermit]

@Paulmaxrobert shoes are fine yes. but add cushioning, correction junk, NO. look at the shoes back prior to the 70's and the injury rate. was Frank Shorter every hurt? did Pre get cushioned shoes while doing overkill workouts? no! and why would the injury rate suddenly skyrocket after the invention of the Nike Cortez?

[TheQuietObserver01]

@CrazyHermit Because ever since the 70's people started this thing called 'jogging' aka modified walking... jogging =/= running, the mechanics are all different, in a strictly technical and purist sense. When you have poor mechanics combined with hundreds of thousands of people doing it, the injury rates or obviously going to be higher than a handful of elites training with good mechanics

[honey105]

man.. NIke is soooooo not getting the point of running barefoot! Sorry you can't sell bare feet!!

Anima Sana In Corpore Sano

[iSkyttens]

Yeah I run barefoot, REAL barefoot. Screw shoes when it comes to running.. wasted 144 euro/dollars on running shoes. I went barefoot 3 days later and havent stopped since :)

[MichaelJLgs19p]

NIKE IS RETARDED

[kaitlenco]

what song is this???

[catherinefan32]

its the chariots of fire theme

[CrazyHermit]

@kaitlenco chariots of fire theme

[cruz1ale]

um, that's not barefoot. that's wearing nike shoes.

[SawViking]

but i think the point was that those shoes will give you the similarity of running barefeet. i have some racing flats myself (not nike though), and it feels like your feet weighs less. its incredible.

[GilmoursAngst]

The full version of this commercial is actually pretty sweet.

[synthplaya]

perfect!
