BEFORE AND BEYOND THE ZOOM JASARI


Back to 1996, in the scope of the Olympic games in Atlanta USA, Most of mid distance runner might remember the Nike Zoom Jasary and its distinctive three colors longitudinal split.

The shoes were dedicated to the faster mid distance Kenyan runners under Nike endorsement.






No relation at all with this shoe made 20 years before, somewhere in the 70's, a Female Adidas Sprint spike shoe
And I believe no relation too with this mid distance spike shoe made by Kalenji, a the french running brand available only in Decathlon stores fall 2014.

We can spot here, a repetition regarding a longitudinal color splitted track and field shoe every 20 years. If this is true, We might expect the next one to come around 2034.




The record doesn't tell if the original idea comes from the Jester's outfit.....and why?
