I had posted about the Runspecs project when it first came about. We’re now in full stride, 3 times a week totaling nearly 25kms. Big thanks to all the people who show up at every run and also Vitamin Water who sponsor us with their 10Cal beverages after every run.
Been a huge fan of LunarGlides. The 2′s were undeniably my favorite pair of running shoes I’ve ever owned. When the 3′s first made their appearnce on the internet, it was love at first sight. I picked these up in the womens’ colorway…which beats all the mens’ ones if you ask me. Definitely techspec approved.
Why are they so awesome? Let Rob Dolan explain himself.
I’ve been hard at work, building a little running program in Montreal for out of shape nerds like myself who are as much into the gear than the sport of running itself… We run twice a week, as a collective. Check out the project and let me know your thoughts…
Reaching not so far up in their library of archives, New Balance have reissued a pair of racing shoes straight from the history books. The 205′s were named after Khalid Khannouchi’s record beating time of 2h05 at the Chicago Marathon in 1999. While the history itself makes my knees weak, the technical specifications make it easy to appreciate NB’s pursuit for comfort and performance as they are probably some of the most comfortable soles that have ever separated ground and foot.
Abzorb cushioning in the heel for comfort on the heel-strike and a Acteva midsole which is said to be 12% lighter than a traditional EVA midsole but yet maintains the same durability, make this an everyday shoe that can never be the wrong decision. (except when you’re wearing red pants…that’d look silly)
They will be available Here.
My recent commissioned work for Nike Sportswear had me taking photos of my city to reflect their latest AW77 Campaign that took place in Tokyo, London & New York. I shot a couple of places, where people would do their running in Montreal, such as the Canal, the Mount-Royal, Old Montreal or simply in the middle of the city. Here are some of the images that were used during the customization event at the OTH gallery.
Outdoor football season has started. Thank god. Which is why these 3 pairs of runners have seen more action that usual, been working on getting the cardio up again. Nothing beats the feeling of running in a well engineered pair of runners and listening to “Building Nothing Out of Something”. Here are undoubtedly some of my preferred runners, not only in terms of comfort and performance, but also extremely sexy lookin’…
no. 001 – Nike Air Max 97 OG
no. 002 – Nike Presto 2009
no. 003 – Nike Free 5.0
Some of my favorite NB’s include the 1500′s & 993′s, this newly released colorway of the 574 was an instant love affair. The dark burgundy and the grayscale mesh well. And the Encap gives me the technicality I love of the 1500 & 993′s. This shoe, from a design standpoint, has a perfect balance between simplicity & complexity; it could be the opposing harmony of the suede’s ease & the mesh’s utility that makes this particular 574 stand out.
