The Trail Running Shoe Sea of Sameness | Nike ACG, Nostalgia, and the Cost of Optimization

The Trail Running Sea of Sameness starts with a simple question: have trail shoes gotten better while somehow becoming more alike?

A Nike ACG LDV sends Josh and Inky Steve down a rabbit hole about nostalgia, distinctive design, and what happens when an entire industry optimizes toward similar answers.

From vintage Nike silhouettes to modern super shoes, they explore why some products stay with us long after better technology arrives, and whether trail running has lost a little of its willingness to be weird.

The idea of Sea of Sameness came from Marty at Global Sales Guys - globalsalesguys.com
