Well if they’re sold in stores and next year everyone will have a pair, then it’s not going to be an unfair advantage, is it?

There is a whole class of running shoes banned from various competitions.

Essentially the argument given was too much advantage came from the shoes and they didn't want racing to be about shoe technology development.
