Interesting. They show a potential set of designs when they were "working" with the designer, but then blurred out everything from the focus group? portion. Wonder if that was stuff that bombed, or what they showed with the designer was scrapped...
Can't wait for the first person to frame their race insert along with their medal and bib after the race

Apparently the bloggers who were brought down for Wine and Dine by New Balance got a sneak peak of the new shoes but they can't say what they look like 
Also I really need to get into blogging for free trips to races.

It's super annoying to see the same bloggers getting these perks over and over again (i.e. getting into the runDisney meet-ups, getting free race registration and rooms at deluxe resorts, etc.).I think they should have "normal people" apply to be race bloggers for upcoming events...so they'd pick, say, 10 people (from different parts of the country with different backgrounds) who would document their training and trip preparations for a certain race weekend, then they'd get free registration and hotel, and report back once the race was over. That would be much more interesting to me rather than seeing the same running/"healthy living" bloggers over and over.
ANYWAY...on the topic of shoes, they must have brought the rest of their stock to the W&D expo since this was the last chance to get them. I waltzed up to the NB area at about 1PM on Friday and got a pair easily. The NB guy seemed surprised that I was so surprised that they were available.

And next week we will be shown the sole of the shoe. And the week after that the laces. Oy. The colors though, eeek.

...Its like the shoes are part of the witness protection program. I am sure those pink shoes will sell like crazy at Tinkerbell and Princess weekends but at this blurry point they are not striking me as something I need to shell out another $100 for as they would be only used for casual, non-running use.
I've noticed this happening a lot. I was wondering if others would notice the same thing. I don't quite see the purpose in inviting the same people, to the same event each time, and paying their airfare, room at the GF, the race costs, and all the extras. In most cases those they bring in have very limited influence.I KNOW.

I noticed it mostly because I used to read some of the blogs that got invited over and over. I've since stopped reading those blogs for a variety of reasons, but being bothered by the perks they kept getting from runDisney was definitely a contributing factor for me.

I wish they would invite those who actually participate in the RunDisney races or have a sign up on the blog like they do for the Galloway meet ups.

Oh dear this is all I see as well now haha.
The new pink ones look prettier but I'm not much of a Minnie fan... Daisy shoes would rock, with lavender etc.

More new for 2014...they are also adding a version of the New Balance 890 shoe (neutral cushioning, faster, lighter).
The men's version will be Goofy-themed, while the women's version will be Cinderella-themed.
Article/video here.
Cindy is kind of a random choice, I think I would have expected them to do with Donald for men's and Daisy for women's. Hmmmm.....

True, they are probably thinking the Cindy shoes will sell well at the Princess.
Does anyone here know what the biggest difference between the men's and women's models are? I would LOVE a pair of Goofy sneaker and I would wear them just for parks and other walking things (not races) but wanted to know if there was a huge difference. I might go to a store and try them out before getting the mayhem that is the expo.
Also, what sizes are normally stocked for men's and women's? I think I saw this posted somewhere so sorry if this is a repeat.
Thanks!
