...however, remarkable in other ways. Right now Foer is the LeBron James of the literary world--young, preternaturally mature, enviably well compensated (he got a seven-figure advance for his last novel), and coming off a wildly successful rookie season.

Perhaps more impressive, while Nike and Reebok shower millions of dollars on superstars like LeBron James and Yao Ming, New Balance has soared to near the top of the sneaker charts--dusting even international powerhouse Adidas--by running solo, proudly proclaiming that it is "endorsed...
