Newton Running Releases 2016 Boston Special Edition Shoe
BOULDER, Colorado (PRWEB) April 03, 2016 -- Newton Running released a special edition shoe for the 2016 Boston Marathon, to be sold exclusively at Marathon Sports, the Marathon Expo and http://www.newtonrunning.com.
Inspired by the course, which summits on Heartbreak Hill in Newton, Massachusetts, Newton incorporated symbolic elements to help tell a unique and memorable race story.
"We love the look of the Newton Running Fate 2 Boston special edition shoe. It's a great design that really honors Boston, the Boston Marathon and the passion of the runners who run the race and run in the city on a regular basis," says Brian Metzler, Editor in Chief of Competitor Magazine and Competitor.com. "The stakes for special event make-ups (SMUs) rise each year as consumers are looking for a more special commemorative item to celebrate their achievement. Newton Running really rose to the top among the submissions for the 2016 Boston Marathon SMUs with the shoe's creativity, bold colors and incorporative blend of the logos of Newton, Massachusetts and Newton Running."
