Stuff I Wore - On the Run

I can't believe it's already the first day of Fall. I am not looking forward to the cooler weather. Sadly, this will be my last summer outfit post. This outfit was from a few days ago. I'm not actually 'on the run', it just feels like it whenever I put on these super bright New Balance : ) It's the New Balance Fresh Foam Zante. They're extremely light and comfy - I absolutely love them! 

I like a nice logo tshirt. This one from Adidas is a little different. The logo is actually wrapped around the side and not located dead centre. Interesting, eh?

To add a bit more colour to this outfit, there's my TOMS Traveller sunglasses, which I've been wearing quite often this summer.

Hope everyone had an awesome summer. Now, stay tuned for some fall looks coming soon...

Tshirt - Adidas

Shorts - Bluenotes 

Shoes - New Balance Fresh Foam Zante

Sunglasses - TOMS Traveller 

New Balance Fresh Foam Zante

Attention runners! You might just want to check out the latest addition to New Balance's Fresh Foam collection.

New Balance added to its Fresh Foam collection, introducing the Fresh Foam Zante. Data driven design combined with the smarts of a human creator come together to create a smooth ride that gives you a quick feel with all the qualities of Fresh Foam in a different running experience.

Designed from data gathered from runners at a faster pace, Fresh Foam Zante offers a quick, incredibly smooth heel to toe transition thanks to its aggressive toe spring, helping you feel fast, whatever pace you run.

 

Applying the same software aided process as the Fresh Foam Road and Trail, the New Balance design team took Zante to the next level by studying foot strike and impact tendencies of runners, while moving at a slightly faster pace. Engineered on a new, more form fitting last with a 6mm midsole offset, this update aims to provide wearers with a more aggressive toe spring while bringing them slightly lower to the ground compared to it's 980 counterpart.

Sleek, snug and dialed in for speed, Fresh Foam Zante has a bootie-like design that wraps the foot like a second skin. There is no-sew overlays and a breathable air mesh to complete the clean, technical upper design - Nothing is on the shoe that doesn’t need to be, making it feel like an extension of your foot.

The Fresh Foam Zante is available now for men and women in stores and on line at Newbalance.ca.

What a great looking pair of runners! I am loving the lime-green! (note: there are more great colours to pick from) Now, lets go for a run!

Stuff I Wore - At the Cottage

Herschel Supply Co. X New Balance Sneakers

Very nice! Two brands I like working together to create something I love - sneakers!

Canadian baggage company Herschel Supply Co. ( which I still yet to own one, I know, can you believe it? But will get one very soon : ) is the latest brand to work with New Balance. Keeping with their bag designs, Herschel Supply Co. decided to work with the classic silhouettes - 710 and 420 models from New Balance. Comes in 3 colours; black, red and navy, and very detailed designed - will stand the test of time.

Please, I would like one in each colours : )
