After months of anticipation—or about 16 weeks, if you’ve been training with us—the New York City Marathon is finally rounding the last corner before November 5. Plenty of runners have already made their way to the city in preparation for Sunday’s main event, and a whopping 50,000 people have registered to toe the start line. For racers and spectators alike, the NYC Marathon is a spectacle of rich history, struggles, and triumph, and New Balance New Balance Uomo CT574 in Marrone Rossa.
Whether you’re on the lookout for a new pair of shoes, your next workout fit, or simply a souvenir, New Balance has something New York-themed for you. Even better, all this merch is based on the brand’s already tried-and-true performance gear.
New Balance gave a NYC Marathon makeover to two of its flagship shoes, the SuperComp Elite and the FuelCell 1080v13: a perfect combo for getting your legs back quick if you've been bitten by the marathon bug.
The SuperComp Elite is a carbon-plated racing shoe that combines maximum cushioning with a springy, responsive ride that can wring every drop of speed out of your efforts. Its complement, the 1080v13, is another supremely plush shoe that offers a more forgiving landing with each stride—we imagine you’ll appreciate the extra squish when you wake your tired legs back up from recovery.
For runners both on and off the race course, New Balance has clothes to keep you covered head-to-toe in any conditions—and rightfully boasting about your big race along the way.
On the casual side, the brand has options like cozy hoodies with race-themed artwork, all kinds of graphic tees, and even a few jackets. But if you're looking for something more technical, New Balance also offers ventilated, moisture-wicking tees, running shorts with liners, and even adjustable fleece jackets for those awkward fall temps, all boasting references to the marathon.
New Balance also has plenty of more subtle (and not-so-subtle) mementos available if you want to add light touches of New York pride to your finishing kit. Most notably, the brand has several running belts and waist bags available, and they come in a variety of sizes based on how much gear you want to carry around.
In terms of headwear, New Balance also has even more swag, ranging from light, packable mesh hats to a finisher-themed beanie that keep undoubtedly disambiguate how well you did on Sunday. And if you ask us, anyone who can finish New York’s challenging course has earned at least a hat’s worth of braggadocio.
