It's the world's largest running event, and sneaker brands in the running space are dropping special makeups of their key styles to celebrate this year's TCS New York City Marathon. Even if you're not one of the over 50 thousand planning to run a grueling 26.2 miles through five boroughs of New York, here's a detailed look at three of the sneakers that'll be spotted this year.
Price: $130
Concepted by Brooks' Shane Downey, the man behind the revamping of the brand's heritage line and collabs, the Freedom Adrenaline GTS isn't subtle about its nod to the Statue of Liberty. Featuring submlimated images of Lady Liberty and the New York City skyline, the sneaker also uses oxidized green, matte silver, and orange. There's also small details like copper-like lace aglets and branding on the sock liner that play to the Statue of Liberty theme.
Price: $160
As the official partner of the TCS New York City Marathon, Asics is the only sneaker brand is that can officially use NYC Marathon branding. Using a neon and red color combo, the latest version of the Kayano uses a stretch-fit mesh in the upper and the brand's Impact Guidance cushioning system.
