Athletic shoes typically fall into one of two camps: the well-designed camp or the aesthetically-pleasing camp. New Balance’s new 8505s not only strike a remarkable balance between the two areas, but in fact excel in both; I happen to think they’re exceptionally cool-looking (for athletic shoes), and their construction makes your run a joy. The NB Zip heel design, for example, makes the heel area incredibly shock-absorbant while reducing bulk. The result is a shoe that is light as a feather and that remains comfy for the entire length of your run.

The biggest issue with these is easily fixable, but at the same time it mirrors an issue I’ve had with every pair of New Balances I’ve ever owned: shoelaces that are so long it borders on the absurd. Seriously, you have to tie the damn things in a triple knot just to make them manageable. This sounds like a minor nit to pick, but try running 5 miles with shoelaces whap-whapping at your calves the whole time. Argh.

X = 9.6 for exceptional style/performance/price ratio.
