Ok, folks. Here it is, the first breaking scoop on I Run Far. Recently, during one of my frequent trips to the Montrail website, I came across a shoe I hadn’t seen there (or anywhere else for that matter) – the Slipstream. Low and behold, as of today it’s no longer on the website. Briefly (as I’m at work), the Slipstream looks to be even roadier than the forthcoming Nitrus. This has me VERY excited. While I love me some quality trail running, I also appreciate rolling out some mindless, zen-filled miles on the roads. These shoes should fit the bill. I hope to have more on the Slipstream in both the near and distance future. For now all I’ll add is that the Slipstream appears to incorporate the BOA (turn-dial) lacing system.
