The New York City Marathon is coming up – Sunday November 4.  Beginning for the professional runners at 8.30am, the next division starts at 9.20am and is for elite women and 30 minutes later for men’s pro.  But if you can’t get there, why not pretend you were there and get some memorabilia in the form of a pair of NYC-Marathon-inspired shoes?

According to Brooks footwear merchandising director Brice Newton:

“When creating the NYC Pop Art Ghost 11, we sought a fun way to honor the truly iconic New York City and everyone who runs there. We turned to the style of pop art popularized in New York and found design insights that represent the big city which will motivate and celebrate runners inspired by it.”

Each year the New York City Marathon generates approximately $415 million for the economy.
