New Colors! New Styles! From Sport Science

sport science™ products are engineered to keep you dry because that means staying cooler when it’s hot and warmer when it’s cold. Our dri-release® fabric rapidly wicks perspiration off the surface of your skin, moving it through the fibers and into the air. Not only does this keep your core body temperature steadier, but a dry shirt is lighter and more comfy than a wet one.

sport science™ products are designed to fit and feel good in any situation. From our super-soft fabric with a higher thread count on the face, to the seamless body construction, to the heat-seal labeling, we make sure each product prevents chafing and abrasion down to the last detail. Come by and pick one up today!

Indulgence: 1000 Miles Under the Colorado Sky features ultra-marathon phenom Anton Krupicka in a high-definition running film inspired by mountain ski and bike films. The film will offer the viewer a first-hand look at Anton’s life as he trains in the mountains of Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California during the summer of 2007. The film’s presentation will reflect Anton’s simple approach to life and running and his continued pursuit of this minimalist ideal amidst the expectations of modern society. Indulgence: 1000 Miles Under the Colorado Sky is presented by Negative Split Pictures. This is the second running film by NSP, following the 2004 documentary Five Thousand Meters. For more information about NSP, visit the homepage here.

Asics Gel-3000

Function: The follow up to the Empire, this Running Specialty Store only offering is designed to prevent “late stage pronation” (a foot that rolls inward from mid-arch forward to the big toe). Asics provides this type of stability by incorporating their dynamic foot cradle design in the forefoot. Cushion and Fit: The 3000 has a lower profile (closer to the ground) than the 2000 series (2130) or the Kayano and a generous toe box fit. Should you try this shoe? Yes if you have been wearing shoes like the 2130 or Kayano and still experience breakdown of the midsole under big toe.

Asics Gel Landreth 4 Function: Occasionally a shoe comes along that can be worn both by stable feet and also those that need a degree of support. The Landreth 4 is this shoe! The natural stability comes from using the same midsole platform as the 2130 minus the posting (stability bar). Cushion and Fit: Asics has improved the cushioning of this model and the fit is enhanced by a stretch mesh upper with minimal overlays. Should you try this shoe? Yes, this shoe is a great update for runners that enjoyed the Landreth 2 and with its versatility lends it’s self to a wide range of foot-types.
