A history lesson the “matumbo” hole on a Nike shoe.
Excerpt from our full interview with
Patrick Richie and Natalie Kile, both are Product Line Managers at NIKE.
Bernard Lagat, gold medalist from 2007 Osaka, 1,500 meters and 5,000 meters, wrote “Matumbo” on the side of his white NIKE racing shoes. This explains the “Matumbo” and the whole on the back of NIKE track spikes, which Bernard Lagat called it the “Matumbo hole”!
Thanks to Bernard Lagat and Johnny Truax!
