In just under two weeks time will be the 43rd running of the New York City Marathon. First established in 1970, it is one of the world's largest marathons with the number of participants in last year's race reaching over 45,000. To commemorate this annual 26+ mile test of endurance and mental instability (who runs 26 miles!?), New Balance has released the NYC Marathon Special 990 Sneaker. Using the 990 body that has been reintroduced this year, this special edition features a red base with gold accents and references to the city we call home. The Marathon Special 990 is now available at Nepenthes so you can attempt to break record time for the NYC Marathon which is currently held at 2:05:05.
Limited Quantities: The 990 NY Marathon Special is a limited release to NYC stores and only 504 pairs are available throughout the city.
