Merrell Spring 2013 Full Line

Check out the full line preview that Merrell has cooked up for 2013. Video courteous of the guys at Running Village.

New Saucony Kinvara TR2 - Fall 2013

Saucony will be updating the Trail model of the successful Kinvara series in the Fall of 2013. The flashy Kinvara TR2 looks to be built on a similar platform and featuers a carbon fiber rock plate in the midsole. The use of carbon fiber delivers improved flexibility and durability while keeping feet protected from sharp objects. Saucony has also improved the cushioning in the Kinvara TR2, upgrading from ProGrid to Saucony PowerGrid cushioning in the heel.  The SauconyKinvara TR2 will retail for $100 as should be out in late 2013.

Salomon Fellraiser - 2013

Salomon will be launching the Fellraiser in 2013.  Taking inspiration from its ultra light mountain runner, the S-LAB Fellcross, the Fellraiser is lower to the ground and much more flexible than previous Salomon models. Trail runners will love the spike like traction from the non-marking Contragrip outsole and the lightweight and fast-drying upper. Not sure on the heel-to-toe drop on the Fellraiser yet, but injected EVA midsole and use of Salomon’s lightweight muscle should lend towards quick transition from mid-foot to toe-off.  Weight is approximately 8.2 OZ

Mizuno Wave Creation 14 - Now Available

Checkout the video for the Mizuno Wave Creation 14 NOW AVAILABLE at Running Warehouse. Jason Lewis from Mizuno USA discuss the features and benefits of this highly anticipated update. Womens's color ca be found below. Weight: 11.9 OZ Stackheight: Heel (31 mm) Forefoot (20 mm)

Merrell Ascend Glove - July 2013

Running Warehouse recently dropped a big sneak Peek on a new “Barefoot Style” shoe that will be out later in 2013. Keeping true to the Merrell Barefoot Line, the Merrell Ascend Glove will be a zero-drop trail running shoe, yet provide more cushioning than the successful Trail Glove. Traversing technical trails in minimal footwear can be taxing on a runners foot and legs. The Ascend Glove from Merrell solves this problem by offering a 10.5 mm stack height and a protective Rock-plate that runs from the forefoot to the heel. The upper uses Merrell’s new MotionMesh, that has increased breathability and flexes freely with the foots natural movements. The Vibram outsole looks much more aggressive than previous models for increased traction on mountainside trails.  The Ascend Glove will be out in July 2013 and will retail for $120.
