On March 20th the Honda LA Marathon will take place.

In honor of the marathon, K-Swiss has created a special signature runner specifically for the festivity. The limited edition K-Swiss K-Ona S LA is a great choice for those participating or even if you are in attendance strictly for support. Coming in at a mere 9oz makes it one of the lightest weight runners thus far. Breathability has been enhanced with the addition of a seamless upper & ‘Flow Cool System’ placed in the front and rear of the sneaker. Superfoam tech, Si-18 crash pad insole and k-EVA midsole provide the wearer with lightweight superior cushion as well as a TPU midfoot shank for increased stabillity.

The K-Ona is now available at K-Swiss for $100.

With a subtle combination of various colors and materials, the Puma R698 shown above will surely be hit amongst fans of Puma’s impressive running line. The Puma R698 is one of the few sneaker models to maintain the classy, lightweight, and retro feel that most sneakerheads desire. Featuring a leather and mesh upper lighted up by orange and light blue accents, this pair does not only yield a great colorway, but also includes the trinomic sole system which provides the comfort and flexibility needed to run that extra mile. Most Puma fans will definitely notice that this trinomic sole unit is also included on some of Puma’s more popular models such as the Blaze of Glory and the Disc Blaze. These are set to release sometime in 2009. Via Sneaker Freaker.
