Quick heads up – Running Warehouse is having a sale on a bunch of racing flats starting today. Additionally, the first 2500 people to purchase a flat via the sale will get a $50 Running Warehouse gift card – pretty sweet deal! (note: if they are still available, gift cards appear in your cart when you add a shoe to it – just got one for myself with a purchase of a pair of NB 1500’s) Here are the links to the sale pages:
SALE IS NOW OVER

About Peter Larson
Dang…wish I knew for sure I could get the gift card. I’ve got a RW gift card burning a hole in my (electronic) pocket!
The RW website says nothing about the $50 gift card offer that I can see. Maybe that means they’re all taken. Or maybe it will just show up with my Hyperspeeds. I can hope!
It may be that that portion has not started yet, or as you say they are all gone. They told me the deal starts today, but did not specify a time. It could be that the gift card portion starts when they send out the official email blast. We’ll see, I’m holding off till I get the email – NB 1500’s are calling my name :)
I just called and it’s only on select racing flats. The old Hyperspeed color did not qualify so switched to the new blue and voila! New Hyperspeeds for essentially $20.
hi pete,
re the NB 1500s, are you at all concerned that the stability features might bother you? that’s the one thing holding me back–very tempted otherwise.
thanks,
bruce
No concerned at all. In fact, stability features almost never figure in my decision making process on whether to try a given shoe. I honestly don’t think a medial wedge does a whole lot. This might be fodder for an entire blog post!
not to solicit too much, but i have a $115 gift certificate to new balance that i could part with. looking for $75 or best offer. almost as good as a RWHouse deal. let me know if anyone wants it.
forgot one other question: do you know what was changed from v1 to v2 on the hagio? have you tried v2?
thanks again.
I never tried v2 so can’t say, looked mostly like an upper update.
sale is live as of now, if you’re going to get a gift card you’ll see it in your shopping cart. Just picked up a pair of RC1400’s for net of $20 THANKS!!!!
Some of the shoes in this “sale” are more expensive now than they were before the sale. For instance, the NB1400v2s were $59.95 a few weeks ago. The “sale” price is now $74.95. It’s still a great deal if you can score one of the gift cards. But if not, the deal isn’t so sweet.
Might depend on the colors – some colors go on steep discount when they are discontinued. Might be that the $59.95 pair was one of those.
he’s right, I’d ordered my RC1400v2’s right before this sale, the shoes (exact same colorway) went up $15 when the sale went live.
only way to make people complain about $20 shoes… make them think they could have had $10 shoes…..
Looks like the NB 1400v3 is out!!!

Nice, thanks for the tip!
Ships in April, still a few weeks out I guess.
anyone know the big changes?
1400v3
The update is to the upper only. From New Balance via email: “The updated upper materials as well as the design accommodate a softer internal fit, and less areas of vulnerability at flex in the forefoot areas. The mesh is softer plus we used more no-sew suede rather than films.”
