When #AllysonFelix became pregnant, Nike offered her 70% less on her contract due to the pregnancy.
Fueled by Nike telling her “Know your place and just run”, Felix dropped Nike and got busy creating her own brand of running shoes #saysh for athletes like her.
She will now be running in the Olympics in Japan this summer wearing them as she fronts them under the banner “I Know My Place”.
“I’ve been asking for change and speaking up, and it just got to a point where I needed to create that myself.”
