Shoe Porn: New Balance 890v4 Boston Edition

For the past several years, New Balance, the Boston-based running shoe company, has introduced special versions of some of its shoes in advance of the Boston Marathon. This year they've done it again with their 890, my go-to trainer.

This year's edition plays up the social media aspect of running with #LoveBoston printed inside and outside the heels. I'd say it's a pretty good sentiment for what will certainly be an emotional marathon weekend.

These shoes are a bit more than usual at $120 a pair, but I have a feeling I'll be swinging by New Balance's Boylston Street store to pick up a pair after crossing the finish line.
