In a nutshell, we’d describe the New Balance Black Rainbow Collection as style… with substance. Beneath the entire spectrum of visual appeals at play, you’d be pleased to know that there exists some serious technical specifications and manufacturing innovation. There’s nothing more to say except that the three pairs highlighted below would more than equip you to take on that full 42.195 kilometres come 4 December 2011.

- Reflective Material – Excellent for night running, keeping you in sight against oncoming and back traffic.
- Extended Stability Web® – A lightweight arch support that helps prevent excessive flexion of the arch, reducing the risk of Plantar Fascitis (swelling of fibres connecting the heel bone and the base of toes).
- N-ERGY® – A resilient engineered elastomer (rubber) designed to provide shock absorption and responsiveness for the optimal ride.
- ACTEVA® LITE Midsole – A premium lightweight midsole foam with optimal compression set properties. Made with Dupont™ Elvaloy®, it is 24 percent lighter than standard foam.

MR10
Courtesy of New BalanceThe MR10 is part of New Balance’s Minimus range that showcases a new approach to athletic footwear – inspired by Good Form Running’s four elements of ‘Posture’, ‘Midfoot’, ‘Cadence’ and ‘Lean’. Supremely comfortable and extremely lightweight, it is a ‘minimalist’ shoe engineered for use on pavement and other varied running surfaces. The following are featured New Balance technologies present in the MR10:
- Reflective Material – Excellent for night running, keeping you in sight against oncoming and back traffic.
- Sonic Welding – Pressure and heat is applied to the fabric edge to fuse it together, omitting the need for stitches which in turn gives a lighter and more air tight shoe.
- REVlite Midsole – 30 percent lighter than other midsole foams with comparable performance, offering premium responsiveness and durability.
- Full Ground Contact Sole – Provides enhanced foot freedom for runners to find their sweet spot.
The New Balance Black Rainbow Collection is available at New Balance Concept Stores and selected authorised retailers.
