Nike removed a window display at its Newbury Street store in Boston on Friday after a sign reading "Runners Welcome. Walkers Tolerated." drew heavy criticism
I was a long distance runner, qualified to go to state finals even. I can never run safely in my life though, because I tore a tendon in a cross country race, and even though it’s been repaired surgically if I try again it will tear again.
There are only a few safe types of shoes I can wear to reduce injury risk, one of those being a Nike shoe. Walkers tolerated as a sign always stings.
