THE 890 WEIGHS PRACTICALLY NOTHING. AND IT’S ABOUT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.
The 890 from New Balance is crazy light. In fact, running shoes this light are usually no more than stripped-down racing flats reserved exclusively for skinny little speedsters. But the 890 is different – it’s a neutral cushioned trainer built for runners of all shapes and sizes. The secret? A new midsole compound called “REVlite”. It’s got all the cushioning, all the stability, and nearly 1/4 less weight than comparable foams. So, exactly how much lighter is the 890? We set up a few demonstrations to show you.
Trampas (tall guy) and Pedro (short guy) both work in the New Balance R&D lab in Lawrence, MA. In fact, they pretty much run the joint. Seriously. They’ve got Ph.D’s in Sports Science, they’ve got scads of bleeding-edge equipment at their disposal, and as you can see, they’ve got extremely bright futures in acting. So when we wanted some web content to demonstrate exactly how light the new 890 neutral cushioning trainer with REVlite really is, Trampas and Pedro were happy to lend a hand.
