But Nike Air technology turned human feet into messages from the dead, carried by currents that all flow toward shore. The BC Coroners Service has been categorical: no evidence of foul play in any of the discoveries. No tool marks. No cutting. Every identified victim matches a documented suicide, drowning accident, or natural death. And yet... not every case fits neatly into that explanation.
