World Athletics Series: Facing a challenge from technically enhanced shoe innovations that have resulted in super-fast times, and shattering records, the World Athletics has launched a new shoe check application to make it even easier for athletes, coaches, officials, and shoe manufacturers to monitor the compliance of competition footwear.

With technically improved shoes like Nike's Vaporfly and the recently-launched Adidas' ‘super shoes' that have resulted in record-breaking spree, the World Athletics, the global body for track and field, has introduced new regulations to curtail the spread of such shoes.

The current athletic shoe regulations were introduced in 2022 to establish a transparent, objective, and fair set of requirements, and to protect the integrity of the sport, the World Athletics informed in a release on Thursday.
