Amid Nike Controversy, Track's Governing Body Sets New Rules For Shoes

Last year, Eliud Kipchoge became the first athlete to run a marathon in less than two hours. He was wearing a type of shoe that reportedly will not be allowed in elite competition in the future.

Concerns have swirled for years over whether Nike's Vaporfly line of shoes gives athletes an unfair advantage. The new rules appear to ban one Vaporfly model, but another will reportedly qualify.
