I am in the first stages of a search for new sneakers. I may have promised friends that if my pesky right knee holds up (like it has been), I’ll actually run the Allston Brian Honan 5K this September. I would like to look like the put-together serious runners my friends are at this race, even though they’ll be at the head of the pack and I’ll be coming in second to last. But right now, that put-together status is hampered by my current sneakers, which were purchased in 2006 and currently look like a dog ate them (but I haven’t owned a dog since 1994.)
My current sneakers, when they weren’t a mangled mess, were grey and a ballerina pink. I’ve decided that while I don’t mind pink shoes, I’d rather my next pair not match the color of my old pointe shoes. These two pairs of recent adidas Energy Boost sneakers caught my eye. Their pink isn’t perfect for ballet class – this pink is meant for the zip of running.

These two will definitely be making it to my list of shoes to try on when I go shopping in the next few weeks. Around the North Shore of Massachusetts, you can find them at Dick’s Sporting Goods (across from Danvers’ Liberty Tree Mall and in Saugus’ Square One Mall) and The Sports Authority (in the Liberty Tree Mall.) They’re available other spots as well, including adidas.com
Let the hunt for sneakers begin!
