My thoughts on running....




I've never worn New Balance running shoes, yet I saw this ad and was impressed. The motion graphics on their site, and their whole current ad campaign is awesome. It really sums up my relationship with running. (Love/Hate) Off to hit the treadmill, while my little one naps....

I think they over did it with the cheesy voice and music. I love the concept though.

I always check your blog. And as a graphic designer, adore ads on t.v. that speak with such creativity. The music may be a bit much, but I LOVE the marketing concept. It makes me want to go run! And I hate running! :)

Totally agree with the not so great choice in voice and music. It would have been much fresher with better audio. I love the concept though.

cheese factor doesnt bother me at all, I really relate to the concept, but it is getting mixed reviews.

I like the T-shirt. I always had a hate relationship with running. But I bought several times New Balance sneakers because they are fit for my feet.

Where the ad failed for me is that I cannot connect with the voice.

This is my relationship with running. I hate it all day, until I go do it, then I love it!

Just coming across your blog for the first time, love the images you share!
Thought you'd like to know that NB is a Massachusetts based company and the shoes are still made here. In New England you see tons of people wearing NB.
