Favorite Shoe of all time!!!!

Trainer:

Adidas Supernova Cushion (cured all my injuries and I have been able to put tons of miles into the shoes (non-posted)

Flat:

Asics Gel Magic Racer (I have had the same pair of these flats for 5 years now.....just a really great shoe....its been through all my hard workouts)

Spike:

Nike Zoom D (from 10 years ago......A great lightweight shoe (5.4-5.6)oz with removable spikes... It was lost when Nike turned to the Eldoret which wasn't close in comfort or weight, 6.6oz)

Trainer = original nike Skylon

Flat = original nike Mariah

Spike = forget the name but it was a Karhuu indoor spike with red glove leather... mmmmmmmmm

asics 2030

Tiger Jayhawk....boy does that show my age...lol.

Trainer: Brooks Hyperion, Mizuno Wave Rider (any model before the present Rider 6, which feels like a marshmellow)

Flat: Brooks Street Demon, NB 150 would be a contender if not for the disposable outsole.

The original Saucony Grid Swerve.

Trainer: Asics Gel Kayano VII/VIII

Flat: Asics Gel-Tiger

Spike: Nike Zoom Kennedy (Track)& Asics Corrido (XC)

Trainer - Nike Structure Triax

Flat - I don't like flats, but I guess the current Nike Streak is pretty nice.

Spike - Original Jasari or pink and black Eldoret

Trainer; Saucony Trigon responsive cushioning

Flat; Adidas Neftenga

Spike; Jasari

the black eldoret? all i remember are the white/pink and the red green colorways

I've had 26 pairs of Asics Cumulus, starting when they were the Galilleo

Trainer: Nike Air Span (I think- It was white/gray with pink and blue trim?) Very soft and comfy.

Racing flat: Nike Air Streak Light. Fit like a glove. TOday's Air Streak does not even compare.

Spike: Reebok World Prix Distance. Bought these my senior year of high school and loved them. Hexalite cushioning in the back- spike plate up front. Does anyone remember the Reebok World Prix advertisements- full page with all their athletes including Suzy Hamilton when she was with Reebok. Anyone got a copy of that they can post?

This topic has made me wonder- does anyone have a timeline of all the Nike running shoes that they have made? That would be a cool website!

BITD/ Nike Cortez/ Adidas Intervals/ 9.9's

well you are right, that white/pink had the black swoosh. It was shiny, and I am amazed by shiny objects.

Asics GT 2060. Im on my fifth pair and have resorted to womens versions in an equivalent size.

Worst shoe ever: GT 2070, what did they do wrong... or what did they not do wrong?

Never have been able to replace those ruby slippers.

Nike Pegasus, late 80s, early 90s

Asic Gel-Lyte- the blue and yellow version from about 4-5 years ago, felt almost like a track spike

The spike I like the best were from Nike, from around 84', they had a red swoosh on the inside of the foot and a blue swoosh on the outside, and the shoe was all white.

Racing flat was the Adidas marathon 80, weighed about 5 ounces, man could you fly in those babies.

Nike American Eagle

I loved 'em, they were the first really light pair of flats I'd ever owned and, once I retired 'em from races, they made a great pair of "slippers" for kicking around the house.

Trainer: 1st Nike Skylon (1990?), current Boston Classic

Racing Flat: Reebok Paris (1987)

Spike: Mizuno Distance (1991)
