I just realized that shoes have taken the spot left by old boom boxes and mini-stereos. Ya know “Mega Bass”, “ w00x”, “X-bass” and the like.

I cannot escape that nonsense feeling that this stereo has supreme style. Also, I wanna listen to Sk8er Boi and write in 1337 5P34K, although I wasn't the biggest Avril Lavigne fan or CS player ...

As opposed to Hexalite, Pump, ERS etc etc when those beatboxes were in their prime?

To be fair as even an amateur runner the hype around ZoomX is real. It’s no surprising it’s lead to so many World Records tumbling

There’s been lots of controversy around it and the carbon plates needed for stability with it. It’s super soft and bouncy with loads of energy return, allowed me to set a load of new PB’s fairly easily when the first Vapourfly’s released. Ended up being banned for track use

Yeah, those orange Nike shoes are amazing. Best pair of shoes I have ever bought. Feels like walking on a cloud.
