Word is early 2011 on release date.

This is far from your normal “commercial”.
It’s like a documentary. Anton Krupicka speaks the lovely truth.
Running is getting back to your roots… running makes you feel like you’re alive in this world.
Anton simply emphasizes that running barefoot or minimalist make’s you feel even more rooted as a real runner. You feel the ground as you run, you feel the running muscles in your feet.

Anton is a runner that knows the meaning of running. New Balance is a big shoe company. Pete Larson loves shoes and running. I don’t see any issues with this post.

Lol even if it IS a “well-produced commercial”, commercials tell runners what new things are coming… I still don’t see an issue with this post.

But I will continue to look forward to your posts, and will read them with great interest. And I will check out the New Balance Minimus. But I hope in the future I will see more of your thoughts and observations, and fewer links to materials that were produced by the marketing department of a big shoe company.

(I hope this is not too harsh.)

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I try not to pigeonhole myself into one
style of post, and though some are of much greater depth than others, I
liked this video and thought that my readers would as well, and not just
because of the shoe (which I do find very intteresting). Like you, I feel
that Krupicka really embodies what running is all about.

Dan – I’m testing out a pair of GoLite Amp’s right now. Heavy trail shoes,
but zero-drop and might be good for winter running. GoLite is HQ’d in
Newmarket, NH and has some interesting stuff coming. Last winter I used a
pair of La Sportiva Wildcats a lot, but definitely not minimalist. Maybe
something from Inov-8?

Thanks Pete. I’ll be interested to hear your review of the GoLites. I was thinking along similar lines: Inov-8 has some great looking minimalist footwear: roclite 285 or even the x-talon 212? Maybe I’ll wait and see what Merrel/Vibram comes out with this winter.
