The crazy colours of these New Balance MR967 BMC off-road endurance runners may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s an equally colorful story behind them. Currently they’re on the feet of famed Japanese comedian Hazama Kanpei, who has embarked on his own one-man Earth Marathon. A solo shuffle around the world is a big ask at the best of times, but it's an even more impressive feat given that Kanpei is pushing sixty! Be sure to follow Kanpei’s quest at his official race blog, and if you're so inspired you can find his shoes at Bingo Runner.
