12 Months Into Retirement, America’s Most Decorated Olympic Champion Reflects Back At 2023

After completing a year of doctoring commitments away from her usual track and field domination, an Olympics champion recalled her journey as hard. The 11-time Olympics medalist, Allyson Felix, revealed, “still figuring out all the things. Dropping my truths to help anyone else dealing with their own big changes. Add to my list”. She stood to that commitment by toes. 

In her first avowal of the commitment she made, Felix fervently picked up the marque, which came into being as a staunch demurral of the preset system. The rest of the things aligned proportionately. 

Allyson Felix’s Saysh brand introduces its first road running shoe 

Women’s Running Magazine’s IG handle disclosed the awaited news from the Saysh brand, cultivated by Allyson Felix. The caption of the post echoed the social change, the 38-year-old sprinting luminary stood up for. “Not only did women smash records and societal limitations in 2023, they also changed the running industry”, it demanded. But the exact divulgence came in the next lines. It was, “This year, they released their first road running shoe, designed for women, by women.” 

In the video post, campaigning for the latest product, the Olympics winner said, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives. That’s why I’ve been hyper-focused on responsiveness, comfort, and support.” Reportedly, the famed shoe Felix Runner is defined as the “neutral running shoe” and contrived with FemiformityFIT Technology. As per saysh. com, the optimization of the shoes specifically took the cause of the women to provide the needed parameters. According to Allyson Felix, her brand accumulated all three sides she mentioned previously in the Felix Runner. However, it was another part of the sustainability Saysh took to its core. 

The off-rooted entrepreneurial role the Olympics campaigner follows 

In reminiscing about her entrepreneurial journey, Allyson Felix highlighted the hurdles she faced to date. In the conversation with Forbes, the most decorated Olympics podium finisher conceded, “Being the only female in the room, the only person who looks like you do in what are often very uncomfortable spaces, has been really hard. I had heard about how hard it is to raise capital, but coping with rejection, trying to come up and show up, again and again, it’s hard.”

However, Allyson found the solution lurking around. She collaborated with IRIS Ventures, which closed a Series A round with Saysh. Moreover, IRIS Venture also follows a woman-centric approach to its deals. “we need to stop talking about the problem and put the money behind it.” was Allyson’s last line of defense against the problems her entrepreneurial hat was facing away from her Olympics days.
