Saysh
As the most decorated track & field champion faced a unique challenge—what racing spikes could she wear while aiming for her fifth Olympic team? Allyson found herself confronting an industry blindspot: a lack of consideration for women's unique needs in footwear. Her advocacy had already sparked significant changes in sports, fueling her drive for the next chapter. She embarked on a bold journey to address this gap alongside her brother and business partner, Wes. Together, they created Saysh—where style meets functionality in performance sneakers designed for women, by women. Saysh isn't just about shoes; it's about walking in the footsteps of a champion who dared to dream differently and fought to make those dreams a reality for all women. When you wear Saysh, you're embracing a story of resilience, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of equality and excellence.
