A new year, a new running pack. Nike will release a black based pack of runningshoes for both men and women. The pack consists of the Nike Free Run+ 2 and Nike LunarGlide+ 3 in several color combinations.

The Nike LunarSpeed Lite+ is like its name suggests, a feather lightweight runningshoe build for speed. The shoe sports a mesh upper and provides a stress-free fitting. This newly released model combines stability and cushioning into a lightweight racing model. The forefoot outsole has been made wider for better stride stability.
The Nike LunarSpeed Lite+ comes in five stylish colorways.

The Nike Free 3.0 is the closest thing to barefoot running that any Nike shoe will get you. Back in June we saw the first preview images of the Nike Free 3.0 V3 that is set for a Spring 2012 release. New images of the final model have been released in the wild.

The Nike Huarache Free will be in full swing next year with enough colorways to choose from. After seeing previous color combinations like the Cardinals and Bumblebee, next up will be a Grey Sky colorway.

Though the release date is still unknown, women runners can look out for a new edition to Nike’s line up of Lunar runningshoes. The LunarForever has a mixed upper of mesh and some touches of leather material resting on top of a lunarlon sole. The first preview images show a mango-fog colorway that is due next year.

adidas Originals releases the H3LIUM ZXZ Runner. H3LIUM is a lightweight and breathable shoe from the sportswear brand that is built to provide comfort and support. The sole of the shoe is a tribute to the iconic runningshoe, the adidas ZX8000 while its upper uses technology of the F50 soccer cleats.
The adidas H3LIUM ZXZ Runner comes in no less than nine colorways.

For the bit more lifestyle savy runners amongst us comes the Nike Huarache Free Cardinals. This shoe sports leather parts on the upper which gives it a more polished and stylish look. Can’t go wrong on your run in these!

The ML71 is New Balance’s latest lifestyle sneaker model. The shoe is heavily inspired by its minimal barefoot-like runningshoe Minimus. The ML71 has all the performance features of the Minimus but with a more casual looking upper made of mesh and suede. Could this be the start of a new trend in the lifestyle performance segment?
The ML71 wil hit Southeast Asia retailers early next year.

The Nike Air Huarache runningshoe was orig­i­nally released in 1991 and found its inspiration in the old Native American san­dal called Huarache. As mentioned before the iconic shoe will see new daylight in 2012 after getting the Nike Free treatment. The colortone featured here is dubbed Bumblebee where the lightweight upper floats like a butterfly and its colors sting like a bee.

The popular ProGrid Guide line up has been updated with version 5. It is Saucony’s go-to training shoe for runners seeking lightweight stability. The ProGrid™ foam running from heel to toe provides the ideal blend of cushion and responsiveness, and an 8mm offset encourages a smooth transition with less impact.

For the few heads among us that don’t know the Run Dem Crew yet, this is for you. UK website BNTL (Better Never Than Late) went down to London to its number one running club Run Dem Crew. Founder Charlie Dark talks us through the evolution of RDC, upcoming projects and how you can get involved. A must see!

The Nike LunarGlide+ 3 Shield is now also available as iD item so you can customize it to your own wishes. The LunarGlide+ 3 Shield has an upper mesh made from material that will keep out the cold and raindrops so your feet will stay dry and comfy on your winter runs.
The above pictures shows what is possible with iD and hopefully that one will go into production. Great colorway!
