  + stars: | 2024-08-09 | by ( Susan Baek | News Associate | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
Previously, running shoes were “flats” designed with a less-is-more approach.

Since the Vaporfly’s debut in 2016, runners have shattered world records, including achieving a sub-two-hour marathon. Japanese marathon runner Yusuke Ogura wears Nike Zoom Vaporfly running shoes in Marugame City in 2020. But while supershoes have transformed the landscape of professional running, the sport requires much more than a sturdy pair of running shoes.
