New Zip 8508
The new Zips are in the stores a little early than there 3/1 release, and have a nice clean look. The running 8508 has replaced the 8507 and is available in 4 colors for both men and women with 2 additional colors releasing in about 2 months. The 8508 uses the same sole unit as the 8507 with a new pearlized treatment to the Zip component. The first feel of the shoe is nice and the toebox is a little deeper. Fit-wise the 8508 fits true to size and is available in wide width. The new upper design is a little busy in both women’s and men’s. I would like to have seen NB step out of the box a little more with the use of colors and upper materials. The 8508 is a fitness runing shoe and should be great for the gym, the treadmill and short runs. The MSRP is $90 but it should be easy to find for less. Very few stores have them yet but look for them in the next couple of days.

I saw the new zips in red at my local Finish Line and they look hot! I wanna get a pair in black. I wish they would also make them in Navy for men as well.

Yeah, I saw a picture of them on the NB website, I’m not really into the color pattern, though. I really like the black ones. I brought a pair of black 8507 for my girlfriend and they look sweet!
