Sir Isaac Newton once said that “for every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction”. Until you bend the laws of physics, this holds true, even for training shoes. This new 2009 Motion from Newton Running does just that – react to your every step through it’s Action-Reaction Technology. An elastic membrane in the midsole expands when you take a step and contracts as you go, giving your step an extra “push”. The trainer is also designed to protect every part of your foot even in long distance running, which minimizes impact and subsequent injuries. Not only will you get a comfortable and protective running shoe, you can also get a quick review on your physics lessons from Newton Running! $175.

Adidas collaborates with two prominent German shoe boutiques for a brand-new line of cycling shoes. One version, the one with Solebox Berlin, features a black colorway with red accents. Hypebeast on the other hand (or foot) has the yellow accents. It’s low-profile with perforated uppers to give your foot the proper breathing room while you pedal. A neoprene pocket bearing the Solebox/Hypebeast logo on the tongue hides the laces to make sure you don’t jam them in the chains. Stiff outsoles and reflective surfaces keep you away from danger while you maintain your poise. Only 100 pairs will be made both for Hypebeast and Solebox and will be available later this month. The latter will even give you a free Solebox air pump for your bike while the former throws in a cycling cap, Cordura messenger bag, and a carry-all sling bag. ~$150.

Lance Armstrong is a rare individual – a cancer survivor who became the only seven-time champion of the Tour de France. He’ll take on another challenge by racing for the first time at the Giro d’Italia. It will be no shock if he makes it big in this race. Just like Lance Armstrong, the new Air Max 90 Livestrong shoes are a rare breed, it’s believed that only 150 pairs exist. The classic Air Max look is still in version, with a white/gray/black colorway with yellow accents, Lance’s color for the Livestrong movement. Don’t worry about the rather steep price, parts of your cash will be going to charity, if you’re the type who don’t wanna broadcast his philanthropy. $500.
