Hey runners, in today's newsletter, Nike is having an interesting week.
The swoosh is being sued by 7-Eleven over an Air Max 95 that borrows the chain's signature stripes and launches on 7-Eleven Day, and at the same time, a pair of handmade Bill Bowerman spikes from 1968 is heading to auction with bidding starting at $250,000.
Elsewhere, Valencia is shaping up to be the race of the year: John Korir returns to defend his title against sub-2 marathoner Yomif Kejelcha, while Fotyen Tesfay lines up her own world record attempt at the same event.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: a complete guide to running with gels, how running shoes should actually fit, and 15 pieces of summer gear we actually use when it's hot.

The Wahoo KICKR RUN — built for serious runners
If you've ever resented your treadmill for feeling more like cardio equipment than a real training tool, the Wahoo KICKR RUN is the antidote.
The KICKR RUN pairs natively with COROS watches so your indoor miles carry the same weight as your outdoor ones, runs on a powered RunFree mode that adapts belt speed to your pace automatically, and is engineered around runner-specific geometry: long deck, soft landing, near-silent motor. The most thoughtfully-designed treadmill we've seen for serious runners.
The convenience store chain says Nike's new Air Max 95, timed to launch on "7-Eleven Day," rips off the orange, green and red stripes it has used for nearly 40 years.
The 1080 line keeps winning shoe-of-the-year nods — and v15 might be the best one yet.
The 1080 v15 delivers plush, all-day comfort underfoot with a refined upper that locks the foot in for longer miles. If you want one daily trainer to handle 90% of your training, this is it.
