Hi! Marina here, from Airia Running (www.airiarunning.com), the Swedish company behind the fastest running shoe – Airia One. Its not just a marketing claim – rigorous testing shows that 8 out of 10 runners run faster in Airia One running shoes (shaving anywhere from 1% to 7% off their run time).
But this email is not about that.
I want to recruit you personally to run an independent test of Airia One. Ill bribe you with a free pair. I also respectfully request that you do a write up about your run for your readers.
Please try a long distance race to really feel the difference of running in Airia One. Im emphasizing the racing part because its really important that you actually race in them. We spent decades engineering and designing Airia One to specifically be the best running shoe – and you are a runner and an early adopter. You are the real life chance to test our years of work. I am counting on you to push both yourself and Airia One to the limit.
Please enter your address and shoe size to get your free pair of Airia One.
I really hope you take me up on this offer/challenge and have your best run ever.
Kind regards,
Marina
