Yesterday, you say Wallace Spearmon wearing the new apparell
and footwear from his sponsor Saucony. You note that many of
the brands showcase new product at major meets, because,
when the young fans see them, it develops some interest, and at the
end of the day, footwear companies sell footwear & apparel.
Spearmon is wearing different outfits in his three rounds in the 100 meters
and 200 meters. You will see his third outfit, from the 100 meter final, won
by Walter Dix. Spearmon did have a great last fifty meters, which continues
to show what the guy can do over 200 meters, and what he has to do in the
100 meter race!
In speaking with some of the Spearmon team, it was clear that while Wallace
is focused on running, the new apparel and footwear is a fun addition to his
game face. Let’s see what he wears in the 200 meters, his favorite distance.
