Introducing The 1770 with REVlite

We have a new release !

Introducing the REVlite 1770.

The New Balance 1770 is built for the runner who over-pronates that is looking for a plush fit and feel when on the road. With superior cushioning units in the heel and an innovative midsole material, the 1770 deliovers a smooth ride from heel-to-toe. A no-sew upper provides an irritation free environment for ultimate comfort.

From featherweight REVlite cushioning to a no-sew welded upper, the 1770 is packed with cutting-edge technologies. N-ergy shock absorption extends beyond the crash pad into the midfoot to accomodate not only traditional heel strike runners, but also those who land on the midfoot. The performance-fit upper hugs the foot but is forgiving enough for most foot shapes, and modified Stabilicore medial support mildly stabilizes the gait so even light overpronators can sport this neutral-cushioning shoe.

Highlights & features :-
- Synthetic/Mesh upper provides lightweight comfort and support.
- Welded seams, a no-sew material application, reduce weight and prevent chafing.
- Removable full-length insert ofABZORB® cushioning provides added comfort.
- Stabilicore® medial support system provides an extremely smooth transition from heel strike to toe-off.
- N-ergy® provides NB's most advanced shock absorption and cushioning.
- Blown Rubber Forefoot for lightweight cushioning.
- Innovative REVlite midsole provides premium responsiveness and durability at a 30% lighter weight than other foams with comparable performance.
- Ndurance® rubber compound for maximum outsole durability.
ABZORB® Strobel Board runs full length of shoe to maximize shock absorption and comfort.

* N-ergy - A resilient engineered elastomer designed to provide shock absorption and responsiveness for the optimal ride. Designed in multiple configurations to deliver unique consumer benefits

*waves..

How are you guys doing? I hope all of you are doing great !

I'm sure you all are familiar with this...

Guys love it, they wish they could drift like that & own a hot ride like that;
Girls long over the hot guys that drive a va-va-voom racing cars..
hahaha..
So I'm sure this cartoon or movie is no stranger to anyone..

BUT..

Did you know that we have something to do in this comic / cartoon / movie ?
Some may have noticed and has been questioning but some may not realized yet.

New Balance has its appearance in this comic / cartoon / movie.

The main character, Takumi Fujiwara 藤原拓海 wears the 576 sneakers a lot.
Below are some screenshots that I managed to print-screen.

This is the cartoon version.

..and this is from the movie, Jay Chou's feet.


and this website :

it was stated that :

"New Balance shoes and clothing line are also very commonly used in the series as the characters always wear different clothing everyday. This was not so common in earlier Stages, but is more apparently seen in much later Stages."


Happy Tuesday NB fans !
