New NB Zips for Spring

The new spring Zips have arrived!

Check out the new line of NB Zips for spring.
While designed mostly for the young, neutral runner, the NB Zips deliver a responsive ride and durable cushioning.

The women's colors are very light and perfect for spring, while the men's Zips are sleek and stylish with bold colors. My favorite of these colors has to be the WR8508WB; I love the soft green.

NB Zips are both functional and fashionable, so check out the new colors and try something new for spring. You can also find these new Zips for kids, too!

New Balance 920 Water Shoe - Get Wet, Get Dry

In some parts of the country snow is still falling, but don't let this dreary weather get you down; spring is still coming soon.

Spring for some means enjoying the beautiful scenery, while for others it means hitting the open trails, wetlands and adventurous parks. If you are gearing up to take on the great outdoors this spring, check out the New Balance 920. The 920 is perfect for running on unpredictable wet or dry lands. If you're a trail runner and run from creeks to rocks, then the 920 could be a great shoe for you.

The 920's H2FLOW water evacuation system "allows water and sand to escape" your shoe. So, your feet feel dry faster. And the small, uncomfortable debris from creeks and rocks don't get the chance to harm your feet.

If you will be hitting the water or the rocks, try on the 920 and get back to us! We want to hear how the shoe is performing for our outdoor enthusiasts!

New Balance 1061 - now on NBwebexpress.com

The "buzz" stops here...the 1061 has arrived on NBwebexpress.com!

Check out this excellent cushioning shoe that has been reviewed on Runner's World and is recommended for runners "with normal to high arches looking for plenty of cushioning and a firm base of support."

In order to fully experience the benefits yourself, you really have to put the 1061's on your feet.

The 1061 is flexible, comfortable and surprisingly lightweight for the cushioning it packs all together.

So, if you're looking for a little extra bounce in your step or cushion in your stride, try the 1061's.

And if you are a 1060 wearer and are a little leary about trying something new, I doubt you'll be let down with the 1061's performance.

New Balance and Bamboo hits FOXNews!

Retailers left and right are embracing more environmentally sound products; and New Balance is no exception. Bamboo fabric has hit the fashion scene and the public is taking notice.

FOXNews just released this article about the details of Bamboo fabric and the benefits of wearing recycled clothing, " 'Companies around the world are looking at their product lines using organic fibers to step more lightly on the planet,' says executive director LaRhea Pepper, who runs an organic-cotton farm in Texas with her husband and father."

Bamboo fabric is soft, light and very comfortable against your skin; nothing like the hard or prickly Bamboo shoots you are used to seeing in the zoo or in the Rainforest.

New Balance features a variety of men's and women's clothing designed with Bamboo fabric; so if you're looking for a "greener" choice in athletic wear, you have come to the right "tree..."
