Allyson Felix Reveals the Fate of Her Iconic Spikes Worn at Tokyo Olympics 2020

Allyson Felix won the Olympic Gold medal in the women?s 4x400m relay?in Tokyo and before that, the bronze in the 400m race. She became the most decorated track and field athlete in United States history, all this wearing self-branded, custom-designed spikes.?

After parting ways with Nike, Felix decided to start her own brand called ?Saysh? and debuted the new spikes at the Track and Field trials in Eugene, Oregon. Since then, the spikes have been the topic of social media, with thousands looking them up online.

However, Allyson Felix later revealed that the spikes will not be sold on her brand?s website, which has started off in the market with Lifestyle sneakers. This means that the spikes she currently wears are one-of-a-kind and may just be one of the most valuable in the world.?

Speaking to Complex, Felix settled the doubts over the fate of these precious spikes. Like most of her endeavors, she aims to use it towards a noble social cause.?

?We?re actually auctioning a pair off that will go to Power of She Fund, which is a fund to help female athletes who are mothers to be able to compete and have childcare,? Felix said. ?It?s just the true embodiment of what the brand is. It stands for speaking out and knowing your worth and your value. And so I think that will always be at the core of who we are as a brand.?

Allyson Felix will wear the iconic spikes in all future races

As for the original spikes, Allyson Felix claims she will wear them in future races and maybe even the World Championships next year.?

?I mean, as long as I continue to run, I?ll be in them. This was my last Olympics, not sure what I?m going to do next year. We have World Championships that is in the U.S., and so that?s a possibility, but yeah, they won?t be far,? she said.?

Track athletes all over the world are waiting for Saysh to drop the spikes, but it does not look like they will be entering the market anytime soon. Currently, Felix is working on the lifestyle sneaker aspect of the brand, but the idea of introducing the spikes is certainly not lost on her.?
