We’ve got an in with the guys at New Balance and they’ve keyed us to the iminent release of the RC205, a new running shoe from the fall / winter 2010 collection. A sleek, modern trainer inspired by distance runner Khalid Khannouchi, the RC205 is named for the threshold that Khannouchi beat twice back in 2002 – that is, 2:05, two hours and five minutes. Featuring a unique Masai tribal design on the tongue, it’s a remarkable bit of design, and a brilliant runner for anybody looking to get in shape.
