I know this shoe issue has been discussed a lot but let me just say what i think. Im just wondering, if someone equalled the 2 patw record with a pair of jeans is that a new record since it is harder with jeans? I always thought k3vin's 2 patw should have stayed as the record because to me it does not matter what you wear.
Only if the equipment gives you a clearly unfair advantage. Like some swimsuits make swimmers go much faster than usual. In this case it is clearly the swimsuit that is causing the speed, not the swimmer. In Akim’s case it is pure Akim......no assistance from any equipment. To me the record belongs to the golden feet of akim.
If you told me akim was using some performance enhancing drugs or some aerodynamic shoe or something then i would say the record is mostly because of drugs or technology, not akim.
And monta balls are widely accepted in recent times so imo the ball is not a problem either. If he used a size 3 ball or a balloon or smth then i would have a problem. Its amazing that akim can do these combos in a small dark room with a tiny ball, no shoes, no clothes, without even juggling before a combo......and the ball looks flat too. These things do not seem like a clear advantage to me.
