A little...okay a lot late

Unread postby LHSvaulter » Wed Feb 04, 2009 1:54 pm

I was watching Neovault 3 and saw something in the 2004 Men's Olympics chapter that I hadn't noticed before. I believe that the pair of shoes that Tim Mack was sporting were actually early Nike PV Lites. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, Nike was testing the PV Lites with several elite vaulters at that time. Most famously with Dragila who thought the change in shoes factored into her achilles problems.
