WATCH: World Record holder Karsten Warholm has a hilarious response to people trolling his new "Puma" Paris Olympics spikes

Karsten Warholm, the 400m hurdles world record holder, recently shared a hilarious response after people trolled his new Puma Berserker spike shoes, which he will don in his upcoming track events in the 2024 season.

More than a week ago, Warholm announced the release of Puma Berserker spike shoes in Paris ahead of the Summer Olympics 2024. However, a few people weren’t impressed with the shoes as they called their appearance stupid, while some mentioned that he would trip while performing hurdles wearing the shoes.

To which, Warholm gave a response in a hilarious tone, stating that they had thoroughly researched the product before releasing it and the product has a lot of purposes and uses. In addition to this, the Olympic champion used the spikes to open the bottle cap of a Ginger Joe beer.

Watch this entertaining video which was uploaded by Karsten Warholm on his Instagram (IG) platform.

He had previously revealed the shoes on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, captioning it as:

“Released our new Puma Berserker spike for the big 2024 season today with the Puma family in Paris! This shoe is the peak of shoe tec! Looking forward to race in it soon💪”

Warholm has been a brand ambassador of Puma, one of the world’s leading sports apparel manufacturers, since signing a partnership on July 23, 2019, announced through a press release by the German multinational corporation.
