It was a big day for the Boston Marathon, of course, and also for men’s winner Meb Keflezighi. 2:08:37 was his winning time.

Also enjoying a victory lap today, if you will, are Skechers. Yes, the sneaker company voted most unlikely to be associated with marathon winners.

Keflezighi was wearing them for their first marathon win ever.
