Surprised there's no mention of David Roche. Is he 'cool'? No. BUT he does appear to have had a significant impact on the way people approach nutrition in trail running. And there's more to tastemaking than personal style, right? It's about their influence on the culture.

And Walmsley! Ethan Newbury's video of Walmsley at the 2016 Western States, ripping 5:30/mile through the feed in a cropped, holey singlet, wearing tiny shorts and road shoes was punk AF. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHLNishBXui/

Great Article. I think one person is missing from the list. Ruddy Trobrillant. @trobrillants. Parisian runner associated with HOKA and Satisfy and SUUNTO. Started a run club in Paris, PWRUP. If you look at his feed, you can see he loves exploring his personal style and he moves beyond just wearing a full Satisfy kit. He is an influencer, he's fast, and one of the nicest guys around.
