The IAAF, athletics' international governing body, is understood to be likely to ban the shoes and issue a limit on the depth of a shoe's midsole, according to a report in the UK Times.
World 24-hour running record holder Camille Herron, a Nike-sponsored athlete, added to the debate on Twitter, saying that no rules had been broken by Nike.runcamile tweet: I don’t believe it. This is not what David Katz, who wrote the current IAAF shoe rule, discussed a month ago at the USATF meeting.
Shoes can be banned by the IAAF if found to confer an"unfair assistance or advantage" to those wearing them, or if they are not"readily available" to other athletes. "The World Athletics rules don't define what 'unfair advantage or assistance' is, so you can't ban a shoe simply because it's better," she said.
