£97 on eBay. They are only available in Japan, but some fellow is selling them. Japan seem to have much better racers than other markets. Sammy Wanjiru races marathons in them.

I think they are cool, Im going to get a pair and wear them in big races.

I think the more garish a racer looks the better!

Used to run on Mizuno Wave Rider but wasn't too happy with the last pair I had, so now I switched to Brooks Glycerine. On my third pair of those now.

Asics 1110's (yes I know they went out with the ark!) Took me 6 months to replace them as they dont do them anymore but I got a brand new pair on Ebay for £10.00... BARGAIN! Ive tried the rest of the 11' series but they're just not as comfy.

Run Forrest, run.....

Have only ran twice so far in my 13's as with a decent run in weather here at the moment I have been out on the road almost every day the last couple of weeks and I only got my 13's about 2 weeks ago but they felt great and I am very very impressed with Mizuno.

My 12's are about 3 months old and probably have around 250-300 miles on them so far but I just felt I needed a separate pair of trainers for the treadmill to save me having to really clean out the soles of my 12's before stepping on the treadmill which was a long and annoying task. I would have simply got another pair of 12's to be honest but I founf the 13's on sale for £70 and I couldnt get the 12's any cheaper than that so I thought I would just go and try the 13's this time around.

A pair of lime green Salomon speedcross2`s.....

never seen lime green ones, do they make you go faster!!?

Off road I really like my day to day shoes, good all rounders, Saucony Xodus. 350 miles run in them in 5 months.

On road I have Brooks Infiniti, kind of like the Ravenna but with extra forefoot cushioning. They feel good, but my knees don't like the road so they don't get used much.

Well Salomon call them Green / Autobahn / Black but my pair are more Green / Autobahn / Black / mucky brown with pine needles now....

I do find that lairy colour shoes help a little with foot placement in tricky spots...

Bright shoes are indeed faster - FACT!

It's obvious from the picture, they must be faster. And with a colour name of Autobahn well, what can you say?! Being a Kraftwerk fan it reminds me of a tune, but I digress...

Hi

I always liked Asics 2100's and Kayano, I tried Sauscony Grid 5 which were also very good but didn't like the replacement, but must say I've just changed to Brooks Adrenaline GTS10 and I'm very pleased with them.
