No More Construction!

Have you noticed how nice our intersection is at Campbell and Fort Lowell?! Traffic flows so smoothly its amazing. It was tough dealing with the construction but it was worth it!

New Shoes & Nike GPS

The shoe updates just keep coming. Asics has introduced the Gel Cumulus 13 and Gel Nimbus 13. Brooks has released the Glycerin 9 (we only have women’s so far) as well as the Ghost 4. Nike’s Air Pegasus 28+ is here. Saucony’s Kinvara 2 and Hurricane 13 have also arrived. We were told that the Hattori, Saucony’s zero drop shoe, should arrive on Friday .

Finally, the wait is over. Nike’s Sportwatch/GPS has arrived. Offered at only $199.99, this nicely styled watch is powered by TomTom GPS as well as Nike’s accelerometer. Get accurate speed and distance indoors or outdoors, even if the GPS signal gets interrupted.

New Product Perfect for Tucson

The timing is perfect for the BEX Runner! This product, specifically designed for runners, is designed to be snuggled into the palm and is a perfect training aid in warm or hot weather. It stays cool up to an hour in use. Runners may not feel colder, but will experience normalcy longer. The benefit is removing excess heat more efficiently, which translates to less fatigue, more alertness and focus, and sustained peak performance periods.
