Our overall verdict
"Excellent"
Over all Look and Feel:
7/10
So about a month ago the AWESOME bunch @NewBalance_SA threw a pair of gorgeous New Balance 890 trainers my way to try out and I was pleasantly surprised.
What the press says;
The New Balance 890, featuring a unique, innovative and revolutionary new foam compound, REVlite, is designed for the neutral runner who wants to run fast or feel fast in a lightweight package, without sacrificing durability, cushioning or support. The New Balance 890v3 available in men’s and ladies retails for R1 199.
These beauties weigh a mere 271 grams in men’s and 217grams in ladies, the New Balance 890 is the lightest shoe of its kind in the neutral cushioning category it is said to also be the the fastest growing segment in the running shoe industry.
There has also been no compromise in cushioning, stability or durability to make a shoe this light. REVlite midsole foam is used to make the cushioning and neutral runners have a surprisingly light running experience and feel safe, secure and comfortable.
ABZORB® cushioning crash pads work to absorb initial shock and provide the right amount of lateral release to guide the foot smoothly through toe off. Full ground contact through the midsole allows for very stable geometries, and provides inherent stability that can withstand pronation due to fatigue.
Lets face it looks wise the shoe is very bold and edge – black and white is definitely a thing of the past.
Over All – I love it and I think I am going to spend quite a lot of my running time with these babies! Definitely one of my favie’s and a must have to you lovely lassies on the road!

About the Author
Yes I am THAT girl that hopped around on an island in Panama on the first season of survivor South Africa (my claim to fame). Thank goodness I had a modeling career to fall back on because I was left starving and I didn't win the million bucks!
I am anything but ordinary and I have learned to be ok with it. What drives me is the stuff that I love doing, spending time with good friends, learning from extraordinary people, drinking wine, writing, (did I mention drinking delicious wine?) I love traveling, nature, animals, exercise helping others to achieve their goals gives me a kick, I thoroughly enjoy music that moves me and love looking at and taking pictures that speak to me. I stay slim by following a healthy diet of wine and carrying my massive baby around (not sure how he got that big but he is huge, and very cute) - He is my absolute pinnacle out of everything I have done right so far. (I actually have some real weight loss secrets on The Jog Blog) I also run with my two Jack Russell's Jesse and James, James is really, lets call it, "big boned", so I wouldn't say we run marathons but we at least enjoy it thoroughly. Like all South African's I also love the odd South African Braai and grew up barefoot playing on dirt roads.
The biggest goal in my life is to enjoy and savor every moment, to be mindful of each and every person and situation in my life and to be the master of my own mind.
What do I do for a living? I have a bit of digital savvy, write a lot, manage projects and initiatives that help promote brands digitally and love a challenge. I am an avid entrepreneur Sport and Sports-development is close to my heart.
I also proudly endorse Futurelife, Garmin, Adidas Eyewear and Cipla Nutrition.
I help where I can do the best with what I have and give it my 110% I am the Glass-Half-Full girl and thank you for supporting The Jog Blog.
