Scythed jogging shoes

Never suffer the indignity of being overtaken again when out for a run, with these scythed trainers. Impact on the sole transfers kinetic energy to spin the blades of shin-tearing doom.

Could one dispense with the lawn mower and cut the grass by simply hopping around backwards in the yard?

Yes, absolutely. In fact, that's an excellent idea. Also good for reiterating the concepts of touch rugby.

Possible ad campaign;

"Scythe" in the Nike logo font, above the slogan "Just try it."
