Olympic triathlete pioneers Spira technology
Three-time Olympian and top-ranked triathlete Hunter Kemper is to endorse Spira shoes. He will wear the shoes to compete in.
Mr Kemper was voted Sportsman of the Year by the US Olympic Committee in 2005. In addition to his Olympic feats, he has been National Champion six times.
"Our sport is as much about the equipment as the athletic endeavour. If you think about it, most of the cycling innovation over the past 20 years has come out of the tri-world,” Mr Kemper said. “I think the Spira WaveSpring technology is the most significant advancement in footwear technology we've ever seen. It will be a great technology for me to pioneer."
He continued: "After struggling with injuries for the past 18 months, the Spira shoes have been a godsend," said Kemper. “Not only do I expect the WaveSpring technology to help keep me injury-free by reducing the stress on my muscles and joints, but I am convinced that the competition shoe, the Spira Stinger, will make me faster, as it has for so many competitive runners. It will be my new weapon coming off the bike this season."
