I’ve read a little of the book and I feel like NB lacks the ability to “walk in other people’s shoes”. I remember a few birthday’s back, my sister and I decided to buy my Dad some running shoes–New Balance to be specific. He took one look and said, “No thanks, I want Nikes”. As a former NB runner I think it’d be great to see NB back on track. I think the Wired to Care intro shed some light onto the great opportunities NB could have, if only they could really understand the needs of their runners, whether they’re the young fresh faces on the track, or the people like my dad. The book’ brought some great ideas to the forefront, I can’t wait to read the rest of it!

NB understands better the need of the everyday athlete - Nike simply sells Hype and plays to the immaturity in the teens it markets to.
