Weighing in at a scant 186g (for ladies’ US size 7), the New Balance Minimus Ionix 3090v2 is a feather light running shoe that does not compromise on premium responsiveness, cushioning and durability. The EVA footbed cradles the foot and allows for flexibility and maximum comfort. With a 4mm heel-forefoot offset compared to the original 3090’s 6mm offset, the New Balance Minimus Ionix 3090v2 is ideal for both neutral runners as well as runners transiting into barefoot running, making it easier to land on your midfoot or forefoot.

I secretly think that Chris Wawrousek (the Lead Designer for New Balance) is like Tony Stark. Except the former has many more like-minded people on his team. Like how Stark constantly innovates the Iron Man suit to wrap nicely around him, Wawrousek innovates the New Balance Minimus HI-REZ to wrap comfortably the feet of runners.

Inspired by the graffiti artists of New York City, this limited edition New Balance 860v3 trainers lights up the streets with its bright neon green and yellow design.

In this season of giving, we have specially picked out the products that stood out from the pack. We’re sure you’re able to find something special for everyone on your list. Christmas shopping for runners couldn’t be easier this holiday season!

The Home Team NS New Balance Real Run 2012 is organised by the very people that keep our country safe from within. So naturally, they are painstakingly familiar with the cross-terrain running options our sunny island offers.

On a mission to create a shoe that will give you enough protection while still preserving the barefoot experience, New Balance delivers its latest ground-embracing innovation- the NB Minimus Zero Collection.

New Balance’s latest N2 cushioning technology, nitrogen-injected heel, offers a cushy run. The ride was pretty decent, with a smooth heel to toe transition. The shoe’s low heel to toe ratio is great for mid-foot running and a natural foot strike.

Maintaining all that worked well on the previous 860, the shoe’s engineers and designers have made intricate tweaks such as bringing more medial ground contact through the use of rubber surfaces that enable its Stability Web to be slightly smaller.

In a nutshell, we’d describe the New Balance Black Rainbow Collection as style… with substance. Beneath the entire spectrum of visual appeals at play, you’d be pleased to know that there exists some serious technical specifications and manufacturing innovation.

The HomeTeamNS – New Balance REAL Run, formerly a 15-kilometre race, had its distance notched up to 21 kilometres this year, with the inclusion of a supplementary 10-kilometre challenge.

It’s called ‘The Ultimate X-Terrain Challenge’, and we suppose it’s because the race covers four different types of ground.
