Hate this site, but it is NB related.

Anyone have any inside knowledge on these bad boys/girls? Used them? Any size 10.5 floating around on ebay?
you really want us to go to ebay for you?
It's an evolution shoe from the RC150s 10 years ago. They were not quite as light, but damned near. Great shoes. Best racing shoes I've ever had.
I meant, is anyone in possession of these in size 10.5 and planning on putting them up on ebay in the near future.
saw a few pairs at the local running store last Thursday. The NB rep said they were lighter than the Mizuno Universe, 4mm heel-toe drop, and would be out late spring/summer
The shoe is not out yet, late summer 2012 intro. It has a 8 mm heel drop and the ms size 9 is 3.2oz. Lightest flat out there. I think the Universe is around 3.9oz.
Tried on the sample in store when the NB rep came to out store, very nice, might be a little too light for my taste to race in, but there you go.
I'm actually looking forward to the update of the 1400, I'm REALLY looking forward to a new shoe called the 1600 which is a 6ish ounce flat that felt awesome on my foot.
New Balance has really been stepping their game up the fast 2-3 years. Their lightweight stuff in particular has gotten very good, Minimus road, the newer Minimus trail, new Zero Drop series coming out looks and felt good, regular trainers are all lighter than before and still very cushioned and responsive. As someone who used to not really bring them out to real runners very often, I'm finding it more and more of a go-to brand, and runners are picking them up over the old standards of Asics and Brooks.
