Nike announced on Wednesday that later this month it will begin selling a version of the running shoe Eliud Kipchoge wore when he broke the two-hour marathon barrier last October.
The Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% has 3.95-cm thick sole, according to The Guardian, making it compliant with new rules introduced by World Athletics last week that prohibit shoes with soles that are 4 cm deep.
The World Athletics rules also stipulate that from April 30 only shoes that have been available for purchase by consumers for at least four months can be used in competition, enabling the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which open on July 24.
