Looks like Nike $NKE isn't able to just do it anymore. It will need a significant amount of energy and work to regain its place in stores. I remember reading in Phil Knight's Shoe Dog book that his coach Bill Bowerman felt that runners only had a limited number of all-out races in their legs. I think they were referring to the legendary runner Prefontaine who unfortunately died in a car crash late one night in Eugene, Oregon. Incidentally I was in Eugene last year with some friends for a Ducks game and we crossed Pre's rock a few times as we drove up to our Airbnb in the hills above the University of Oregon. I hope Nike has a few more all-out races left in it. Overall I don't feel like the brand is impaired in the eyes of consumers despite their recent preference for On $ONON and Hoka $DECK. Disclosure: I am long $ONON but have been watching $NKE closely.

Guess like we found out why Elon has been going on a crusade against memory in his recent posts. $SKHY and Samsung have been price hiking memory too much? https://t.co/r3sTYkd7TX

@AllTheWayRay8 I have positions in Agility! I do want to see US humanoid programs succeed, even if they’re behind Unitree and others now. So I have a personal preference in funding US players over foreign programs. But $NVDA and $AMZN are heavily backing Agility so that’s always positive
