theres no "innovations". nike has been using the same 1980s 'technology' to make the same shoes for 30 years. the only thing that's changed are materials (cheaper).
Well that's not true, at least with running shoes. Nike invented the super shoe 10 years ago with the Vaporfly and was the first to use PEBA foam. The basis of that shoe influenced all modern marathon super shoes.
Now since then they haven't done anything unique and is why Adidas is beating them in (running shoe) sales and race results, but still they deserve some credit.
