2017 NYC Marathon Special Edition Shoes

New Balance

NB is the official sponsor of the race this year, so it’s no surprise that it has the widest selection of special editions.

The snappy stability shoe has a grid pattern inspired by NYC blocks and the NYRR Marathon branding on the tongue and the sockliner.

New Balance 1400v5

NB 1400v5 - 01

The 1400 is New Balance’s very successful long distance racing flat – perfect choice for the NYC Marathon.

New Balance 1080v7

NB 1080v7 - lateral
NB 1080v7 - top
The 1080 is NB shoe for long mileage and plush, protecting cushion. A very popular shoe on marathon day. This colorway is my favourite of the four.

Saucony

Saucony Freedom ISO

The Freedom ISO is a great marathon day option! For this year, Saucony took inspiration from the Statue of Liberty herself, with the unmistakable oxidised-copper hue and the beautifully executed torch in the rubber outsole. The crown decorates the sockliner.

Check out our review of the Saucony Freedom ISO here.
