Do you happen to know when the nitrus will be available in stores? I’d like to try a pair for my first marathon but I’ll have to get my shoes pretty soon.

Hey Todd,
I will find out a release date for you, it may take a day or so~
What type of surface are you racing on? The Continental Divide is a real smooth ride if it fits your foot.

Just bought the Nitrus. They feel like the Nike Zoom Air Elite (Very Comfy) but with a very rigid sole. They also have great toe wiggle room, if you are partial to the freedom of chacos. They are also very breathable and have a soft tongue with no odd pressure points over the metatarsal (ie. the CTC). This is just what I was looking for in a lightweight trail shoe.
I don’t expect them to be great trail runner’s because of the rigidity (more rigid than the vasque blur) but I believe they will offer excellent load support and stability on unlevel terrain as the top of the shoes does not seem to stretch much.
