New Shoes

[RunBrianRun]

Not like I needed an excuse but I have bought another pair of running shoes. 🤩

Coincidentally adidas released a special edition of their Pro 2 trainers a few weeks ago but they sold out and I spotted that they were back in stock! 😀 These are special to me as they were made to commemorate the 2021 Berlin Marathon which is where I was born 60 years ago. There’s no excuse quite like this to buy trainers and not feel guilty, I said to myself, as I pushed the Buy It Now button. 😂

I love the colours they used 🇩🇪 and the subtle yellow flame down the side of the midsole looks very cool 😎 If you look closely you will see they have stamped BMW Berlin 2021 on the side too.

Problem is, I daren’t run in these, they’re too nice. 😂

Oh Brian, what are we going to do with you? 🤣 🤣 🤣

Btw as they're LE I bet you could resell them for a fortune ! 😉 😈

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

🤣 oh dear now I’m going to have to keep them in the box too. 😂

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

They look great! Yes, you'll be tempted to run in these... eventually!! 🤣👍🏻

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I shall hold out for as long as possible. 😅

[misswobble Marathon]

Oooh beautiful shoes 🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗

I’m like that with my Mizuno Hyate 3. I hate getting them dirty. Being trail shoes it’s a big ask 😀

Have fun in them 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️👍

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Thank you Misswobble 😊I aim to keep them as clean as a whistle 😀

[misswobble Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

I’ve got some On Clouds in pale silver/white 🙈 Also Peregrine’s in powder blue ☺️

I’m buying just solid black from here on in 😀

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Those are lovely colourways miss wobble. 😃 and hard to keep clean as you know.

I must admit I am a bit OCD about keeping my shoes clean. I have one sacrificial pair for off road and wet days but I’d rather miss a run day than run in my posh shoes. 🤣 I even took a pair of mine to London recently as the adidas store do a free sneaker clean for members, 😀😬🙄😂

[misswobble Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Crikey! That’s posh 😁👍.

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Now you’ll have to sign up for the Berlin mara lottery Brian…😅

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Decker]

Excellent point! 😂

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

🤔 I have given that some thought and I’m going to enter the ballot. Whether I’ll do the actual Marathon or not is an entirely different matter. 😉😅😂

[nowster Metric Marathon]

Too many shoes? There can't possibly be such a thing.

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to nowster]

I completely agree. 😂

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

They’re fabulous Brian! Virtually made just for you, so I don’t blame you splashing out.

You’ll need to check the weather forecast for a good day to try them out. Mud and puddles absolutely not allowed! 😱😅

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I’ll try them in the house first 🤣

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Make sure you hoover first! 😂

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

🤣🤣🤣

[Birdlady64]

Ooh they are really cool!I didn't know that you are the Imelda Marcos of the running world!😁

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Birdlady64]

🤣 I’m gaining a reputation for sure, but I like to think I could be called upon to offer advice if needed. 😅😊 At least that helps justify my obsession a little in my mind. 😅😂

[Birdlady64 in reply to RunBrianRun]

No justification required in my eyes

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

A great looking pair of shoes BrianUK. You can never have too many pairs can you? I’m currently thinking it might be worth getting another pair in now in case there’s a shortage later 😂

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy. 😊 I concur, one can never have too many running shoes 😂. As tempted as I might be to get another pair, I’m going to wait. For now anyway. 😂

[johnm12 Half Marathon]

Yep. They look to me like they are positively begging to run a marathon

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to johnm12]

I’m sure there’ll be another pair I can use by then 😅

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

You could wear them round the house and admire them

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m already doing that 😂
