2. The notion that runners should be fit into one of three types of shoes — neutral, stability and motion control — based on how much they pronate was probably always a flawed mechanism, one largely created and promoted by running shoe brands to sell shoes.

But did you know that the image of that goddess was also depicted on the World War II victory medals and the hood ornament that adorns Rolls Royce automobiles? Or that, in the 1940s and 1950s, Project Nike was an anti-aircraft missile system? By the way, the company that became Nike was originally called Blue Ribbon Sports when it was formed by Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman and former Oregon track runner Phil Knight in 1964 as a U.S. distribution company for Onitsuka Tiger shoes (now known as ASICS).

4. The correct pronunciation of adidas is “Ah-Dee-Dass,” not the Americanized version “Uh-Dee-Duhs.” Also, it is not an acronym for “All Day I Dream About Sex.” That’s pure urban legend. The German brand is named after the company’s founder, Adi Dassler.

5. Cadavers, robotic legs, high-speed video, 3-D modeling and, yes, even real runners are used in research projects to learn more about running gait patterns, which in turn sometimes lead to running shoe innovations.

Berkshire Hathaway also owns Dairy Queen, Fruit of the Loom, GEICO insurance and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad. Brooks became the top-selling brand at specialty running retail stores in 2011, taking over the mantle held by ASICS for many years.

(At the 2003 World Mountain Running Championships in Alaska, New Zealand’s Melissa Moon won the women’s elite race in a pair of Inov-8’s original Mudroc 290 shoes she borrowed after arriving in Anchorage without her luggage.)

9. Steve Prefontaine will forever be associated with Nike, partially because he was coached by Bill Bowerman, one of the company’s founders, and because he was Nike’s first sponsored runner. But Pre didn’t wear Nikes when he won the 5,000 at the 1972 U.S. Olympic Trials and placed fourth in the event at the 1972 Olympics. He wore adidas, just as he had throughout most of his high school and early college career. He didn’t start wearing Nikes exclusively until April 1973, when he was in his senior season at Oregon.
