Anyone up on the latest from New Balance? They have a new flat coming out. The 1600. Just wondering what the difference is going to be vs the 1400?

The 1600 will be a 4mm drop shoe made for 5k to marathon. It's light but still fairly durable. Looks to me like a pretty good option for people looking for a lightweight trainer/racer as long as you can handle less shoe then the 1400. I'm going to give it a shot when it comes out.
not 4mm. The 1600 has a 8-10mm heel to toe drop and is less of a shoe than the 1400. It's almost 2 ounces lighter (around 5 oz) and has a bit less midsole under the foot but is very responsive.
A few elite NB athletes are already testing it.
I'm really pleased with the 1400 despite the last being a bit long in the arch. The drop is supposed to be 10mm, but it does not feel like it. It feels closer to 6mm to me. Very interested in the 1600.
little preview of the 1600 here. Looks like the w's version.
In related news, anyone get the new NB 101s?

is the 1400 discontinued? It's my favorite shoe of all time, probably .
I sure hope not. I like it. It has only been out since July and has no scheduled end date that I can see.
110s are not out yet, so no :(
There was a post here a while back with a couple pairs for sale. I hoped someone got them and saw this. Not my size otherwise...
Fifth picture down AK is wearing them.
