RevLite – if you haven’t tried it, get yourself some. New Balance came through in a big way this year, and not just in a single shoe. Numerous shoes on the lineup got a complete overhaul, and the 905 is one of them. Now deemed the 1190, the 905 got more than just your standard [...]

If you’re one of those runners that want to make the switch, but aren’t ready to make the switch to a true barefoot running shoe, I suggest transitioning a lightweight trainer [...]
One would think that New Balance would run out of room to upgrade. Eventually, they would just hit a peak and be done with it. Especially on a no frills, entry level neutral cushioned shoe.

October was Breast Cancer Awareness month and I found myself running in the New Balance Shimmel Tank quite regularly. I’m pretty sure that the pink color, performance fabric, and close fit all combined to make me want to take this top out time and again during the unseasonably warm fall days. The Shimmel Tank features [...]
New Balance released the new 870′s at the Chicago Marathon expo at the beginning of October.

Typically, new shoes [...]
New Balance chose to update and improve the 758 neutral training shoe, which was a good move all around. While the 758 failed to inspire, the 759 definitely failed to disappoint.
