Just this morning, I noticed that about 1/2 (yes I said 1/2, not 1/4, not 1/8) the guys on the jogging path around the waterfront here in San Francisco were wearing short "Marathon" shorts. It was like a trip back in time and I thought I was living in the pre 90's era!!!
Regarding the fact that most of the "main stream" stores are still carrying only the long & baggy stuff, keep in mind that the general public is not known for innovative thinking and without any real choice, they will continue to pick up anything that's an off-the-shelf product -no matter how dorkey and stupid it looks.
It's kinda like people re-electing lousy politicians over and over again because there's no real choice in who to vote for.
