I wear the Saucony Kinvara 3 and am eagerly awaiting the Kinvara 4.
Saucony is a launching a special Boston edition Kinvara 4 only sold locally at Marathon Sports in Boston. You have to buy tickets to the launch event and pick up your shoes at the launch party (only 218 pairs).
They have Boston written on the tongue and the rear of the shoe (and are Boston-green).
I'm not running the Boston Marathon (have never run it).
Cool or is it poseur'ish?
Who cares, if they look cool and keep you from getting injured, wear em.
I saw the story about those, and no you are not a poseur if you like Boston or have been in the city. The shoes are just plain "Boston" shoes, not "Boston Marathon" shoes. adidas has the marathon contract.
Wearing adidas gear that says Boston Marathon would be a different question...
If the shoes are sold specifically at the marathon event, then you probably shouldn't buy them. If there are only 218 pairs, then you are probably preventing someone who's actually running the BM from getting a cool, original souvenir. I personally feel that if you didn't run it, don,t wear the souvenirs.
Yes. And using the term "poseur" instead of "poser" is truly mortifying.
capitalism.. buy and resell on the bay!
