New NB/Disney Shoes

Does anyone know when they will be officially unveiled?

Speaking of shoes (didn't want to start a new thread) I've a got an old pair of NB minimus "zero" shoes with about 320-330miles that I love and have been training with for the last few months. Well, a few weeks ago I bought some new minimus "trail" shoes by mistake (as I thought they were the similar zeros). At first they felt great, especially in the store, but after 30 or so miles they are giving me blisters near the balls of my feet. With race day less than 2 weeks away I'm thinking of switching back to the worn zero's even with the high mileage. The soles are definitely worn, but the material is still holding up well. Does this sound like a good idea? What is everyone's typical race day shoe mileage?

Aren't these it?

They are, but I'm fairly certain that leak wasn't intended to be the "official" unveiling.

Aren't these it?

Those Minnie shoes would match my running outfit perfectly, but still not worth it

Still don't know the difference between the 860 and the 890.

Noooooo! I desperately want these but I don't run, I'm too heavy! I want some for walking

Still don't know the difference between the 860 and the 890.

The 860 is a stability shoe for runners who overpronate. The 890 is a lightweight neutral performance shoe for runners with normal foot pronation.

On another note....I see they are doing reservations to actually make a purchase at the NB booth. You arrive, go to the booth, get a registration time, and they text you to confirm and remind you. Is that a new thing they are doing to try and control the chaos?

If you can't send someone down on your behalf then probably ebay.

i looked on ebay and they are already going for $500! will anyone be willing to purchase a minnie mouse pair for me?!?!? of course i would pay for shoes and time!

I so badly want a pair of the Cinderella ones! They're so cute!

 

[Sinderelly]

Can anyone advise about the fit of the 860s and the 890s? I have a friend picking up a pair for me so I can't try them on. I'm not familiar with the fit of NB. I wear Skechers and love the comfort. I wear a size 9.5 in Go Walks and a size 10 in the Go Run 2. Does anyone have ideas on which size to get? I've heard they might run a little small? If you were me would you "size up"?

 

[cindymouse6]

Sinderelly, I would advise going to a local shoe store, try on NB shoes and see what size you wear. that's the quickest way and most accurate way. Can't wait to see them tomorrow. can't believe folks are already scalping on ebay!

do like the ressie system they are implementing. hope it goes smoother.

Thank you! I'm out of time for a trip to a shoe store though. I had read somewhere that the NB Run Disney shoes ran about a size small? I was hoping someone who had a pair could tell me if they had to size up.


Ugh Ebay scalpers

When I wore the (non-rD) 890s I thought they ran pretty true to size.

890s are true to size.
They're my "walking around" shoe (too much drop for my tastes as a running shoe). I wear the same size on the GoRun2, which fits a little sloppier but not by much
