In 3 weeks I’m running the Rock N’ Roll New Orleans Marathon. Olivia and I will be traveling to NOLA with approximately 20 members of our running group and the group will be sporting matching shirts for the race. The guys will be sporting gold colored Asics shirts with purple screen printing (Mardi Gras colors):
While this is cool, all of my current race shoes are solid red with black trim, which will clash horribly. No way I’m running in anything but a Saucony Kinvara, but unfortunately the Kinvara doesn’t come in any color right now that fits in with NOLA colors.
With that in mind, these are the options that I have:
Option A: Yellow / Black / Orange
Pros – The yellow is almost the same as the Asics shirt, and overall this is a very cool looking shoe.
Cons – While orange is a complimentary color to purple, it’s not exactly a NOLA or Mardi Gras color.
Option B: Black / Citron
Pros – The is my favorite Kinvara color combination that I don’t already own.
Cons – While green is one of the primary Mardi Gras colors, “Citron” doesn’t exactly qualify as Mardis Gras Green.
Option C: Black / Grey
Pros – Would pretty much go with anything but Navy Blue
Cons – Fairly boring
Option D: White / Black / Grey
Pros – Would pretty much go with anything but Navy Blue
Cons – Very boring
Well…would love your opinion. What do you think?
