This is from 2019 but still worthy of sharing ... Homemade ‘Nikes’ give Filipina athlete an edge.
To some athletes, brands count for everything when it comes to performance. Filipina
schoolgirl Rhea Bullos bagged three gold medals at an athletics
competition this week without wearing shoes, opting instead to wrap her
feet in tape and draw an iconic Nike “swoosh” logo on them.
Bullos,
11, was one of several on her team of 12 athletes who made their own
footwear because they had only two pairs of running shoes between them
at the competition in the central province of Iloilo.
“Winning three medals in a competition like that is difficult, but she did it,” Valenzuela said by telephone from Iloilo.

“It's
every athlete’s dream to wear spike shoes,” Valenzuela added. “Not
necessarily Nike, as long as they have decent shoes to be able to
compete.” SM City buys new shoes for Rhea Bullos, a Balasan runner who has been trending on social media after her picture wearing makeshift 'Nike' shoes went viral.Rhea was taken to the SM Store in SM City where she was bought a new pair of shoes, socks and a sports bag.

I decided to play a game of sorts with this, your latest piece. I gave it a title, Upside Down World. Then I looked at your title. Well suited, too. :-)
Thanks, John. What was your title?
I think I based mine on the gloomy sky?
