Athletic brands are releasing Boston-themed sneakers and setting up pop-up stores
as they gear up for the 120th running of the Boston Marathon on April 18.
The Hub’s own New Balance has released two new limited-edition Boston-inspired
running shoes: the Fresh Foam Zante V2 Boston and the Fresh Foam 1080 Boston.

New Balance designed both sneakers with “varsity-inspired” colors to give hat tilts to
the Hub’s many colleges. Boston features prominently on the outside of the sneakers
and insoles, which have an outline of Massachusetts with a heart marking the city.
The shoelace aglets are imprinted with the words “Run” and “Boston.”
Seattle’s Brooks Running Co. started sales Friday of limited-edition Nantucket-themed
versions of its Adrenaline GTS 16 shoe. The sneakers are designed to pay tribute to
Boston and the popular island destination’s coastal culture and seafaring roots. They
come in two plaids of Nantucket red, white and blue, with a lobster on the shoelace
locks, a sailboat and whale on the heels, and an anchor on the sockliners.
Two local running apparel companies also are taking advantage of Boston’s biggest
running event of the year with popup stores in the Back Bay, under landlord
Jamestown Properties’ “Run Boston Shop Boston” initiative.

Boylston St. is inspired by this year’s marathon grand marshal, Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb.
In 1966, Gibb became the first woman to run and finish the Boston Marathon — as an
unregistered participant because a women’s division was not sanctioned until 1972.
Gibb also finished first among women in 1967 and 1968.
Tracksmith’s store will showcase its spring performance clothing and the limited-
edition Bobbi, women’s training shorts inspired by the pair Gibb wore for her 1966
race. The store also will include an art gallery with the first public exhibition of Gibb’s
