The 2009 Running Event

November 17th, 2009

The Running Event is the annual expo where all the major vendors and the running specialty retailers who sell their products meet see what’s new and catch up. It’s one of the few chance for running specialty accounts to see all the major players together in one location. The Running Event allows all of us to cover a great deal of ground in a short period of time. This year’s event was held in Austin TX and it was the 3rd time I’ve attended.

Unbelieveable Spike Blowout Sale

October 7th, 2009

One of the great myths says that if you want to race, quality racing shoes (spikes in particular) need to cost an arm and a leg.  We are doing our best to prove this myth wrong.

Our buyer have combed the globe acquiring great spike deals along their travels and we are happy to present you the Spike Blowout Mix and Match Special.  Top quality distance, sprint, multi-event and cross-country spikes from Asics, Brooks and Mizuno that normally list anywhere from $60 to $110, now at $19.88 each!  If this wasn’t good enough, if you buy 3-9 pairs, they are $15.88 each. And to top that off, if you buy 10 or more, they drop to $11.88 each.  Of course this includes our free 2 day shipping and free returns to orders delivered within the 48 Contiguous States.

How could this deal get any better?

How about this?  You can mix and match colors and styles, so if you have a team of 10 athletes, they can each choose any spike they want in any available size.  Men’s or women’s, distance, sprint, different brands - it doesn’t matter, all the spikes listed in the links below can be combined to qualify for the quantity discount.

There are over 20 styles, so the selection is large.  If you’re curious, we do accept official school purchase orders.

We hope you’ll take advantage of these offers.  They are quality spikes, for nearly every event discipline, from top brands at a pretty unbelievable price.  Act soon for best selection because if you wait till track season actually starts, you’ll be sorry you waited to get in on this deal.

36 Years Ago; The Nike Oregon Waffle Racer is Introduced

September 30th, 2009

Jason Lewis and Wes Galloway from Mizuno were in this morning to say hi and check on things.  Nice guys who are certifiable shoe geeks.  Jason took a few of the photos from one of our previous blog posts for his own Sneaker Consipiracy blog (http://sneakerconspiracy.blogspot.com/).  While in my office Jason asked to see the May ‘77 Runner’s World magazine I got them from.  While thumbing through, he found an ad for the EB Lydiard Shoes, so he took a photo of it from his cell phone for future blogging use.  While he was looking at that issue, I pulled a few Runner’s World issues from ‘73.  Wes was happy to see ads his dad had placed in the magazine for the infamous Phidippides Running Singlet.

Nike Footwear Summer 2010

September 23rd, 2009

Nike is one of the few running brands that still offers four footwear introductions each year; Spring, Summer, Fall and Holiday.  The biggest introductions are usually saved for Spring and Fall, with Holiday and Summer having a smaller number of updates.

For Summer 2010, Nike continues to experiment and expand models that make up two of the brand’s unique categories of shoes, the Free and Lunar family of products.  Nike is known to consistently  introduce new technologies to see if they find an audience and if they do find a following, the technology is expanded into its own silo of products.  Air Max was one of the better examples of this.  First was the Air Max, then a whole slew of Air Max products that followed.  The Free concept remains popular, but the line is somewhat limited in its appeal.  The Lunar product has proven wildly successful and as a result, new models are being introduced in the Lunar line while the Free line receives updates to existing models and even loses a style in the process.

Nike LunarFly+

Nike LunarFly+

For the Lunar franchise, possibly the coolest is the new LunarFly+.  Take a symmetrical LunarLite midsole and throw the upper from the 2008 Hayward on top and you have one hot shoe.  At $80, this is gonna prove popular.

Asics Spring 2010 Footwear Updates - Back to the Future

September 17th, 2009

In the ’70’s when Asics was Tiger, the brand had a solid training shoe following, but runners flocked to the brand for their performance models.  The Ohbori and Jayhawk flats, the Spartan B spike were on the feet of the best runners from that era.  I remember distinctly photos of Alberto Salazar running for the mighty Ducks of Oregon wearing black dress socks and Tiger B’s. Rogers and Shorter won in Tigers and who could forget Allison Roe winning Boston and NYC in ‘81 and setting the marathon world best in Tigers?
