Usain Bolt had ‘FASTEST’ on his shoes, so we asked you what you’d put on your shoes

Usain Bolt.

Having your apparel say or mean something is pretty normal.

My senior year of high school, I had a bible verse on my track shoes. I also got hurt that season, but that’s not the point. The point is that writing/having words on apparel allows athletes to express themselves.

While some leagues don’t like this form of expression, like the NFL, the NFL, the NFL, MLB and the NFL. Other institutions are more lenient.

Take Usain Bolt for example, who decided to bust these spikes out for the World Championships in London.

That’s a boss move. You instantly know who those spikes belong to. Legendary.

That got us thinking. What would you write on your footwear?

Here are some of my favorite answers.

CLUMSY AF

You get to stay true to yourself and warn people around you.

I mean he’s not wrong.

If you can read this

“In case I lose these”

Smart.

FOOD

What’s faster than fastest?

Your move, Usain!
