The Pretty Good Problem

Recently I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of track spikes. I didn't want just any average pair of spikes either. After running competitively for 10 years I felt as though it was time to amp up the style factor as much as I could for the "running world." My "most visited" site on the Internet soon became Nike Track and Field, in the attempt to spot the perfect pair that not only caught me eye, but "spiked" my interest as well.

After a few weeks the process started to become rather tedious, I was anxious and was not about to settle for something that I didn't absolutely love. After contemplating this problem with my mother, she told me that due to the fact that my sneakers are known to get extremely trashed in a matter of weeks, she didn't recommend I "fuss" over a pair of racing shoes that are known to brave even the worst of weather conditions. I was not particularly happy with her recommendations and continued to search high and low for the perfect pair.

After quite a few weeks of searching I finally found the perfect pair that had been the newest addition to Nike ID. They were not your ordinary racing spikes, and they were not like anything I had seen before designed particularly for a distance runner. Without a second thought I made the decision and ordered them. Upon arrival I quickly tried them on and decided to test them out for our first track workout. Although I have been racing for years, I have a feeling that this is going to be a good season mainly due to these "remarkable pink shoes."

  1. Loved the story about these shoes -- AND the "spiked" pun. Now, tell your readers what makes these shoes "remarkable." What made them stand out?
