New 2012 Color for KSwiss Kwicky Blade Light

My head was in a whirl before leaving for New York last week that I completely missed out on something that would’ve kept me dancing and prancing all day…or even the entire month.  Here’s the letter that came with the package I received but failed to take a 2nd look at before hopping on the plane:

Ooooh baby! If there’s one shoe I go googoo gaga over, it would be this: the KSwiss Kwicky Blade Light. I have two pairs -both of the same color, the yellow/black model.

I was a very loyal user until I got injured in May this year. After this, I tried a variety of other shoes, namely Asics Gel Kayano 17, On running shoes, Brooks Glycerin 7, New Balance 870, and Nike Lunar Glide+ 3.  I wasn’t fully recovering from injury for months. Needless to say, I was frustrated.  It wasn’t until exactly a month ago, during the Guam KoKo Race 21k to be exact, when I decided to try my Kwicky Blade Lights again that I completed a race with absolutely no pain or discomfort.  That’s when I knew the Kwicky Blade Light would be my marathon shoe for both the NYC Marathon in November and California International Marathon (CIM) in December.

Lucky me, Steve of KSwiss in Singapore sent me a little surprise: the note above and, of course, the brand new shoe below.  Just in time for break in before CIM! Woohoo!

Check it out:

Thank you Steve! Hoping this gets me to run as fast as you do at CIM!

  1. What a cute pair! I also like the men’s “Nemo” colourway.

  2. Nice color combination – gray and blue! I am planning to buy my 3rd running shoe this December or probably by January and hopefully by that time, it will already be available here in the Phils…

  3. I’ve tried a lot of shoes and I would say that KSwiss is one of the best brands in the market.

  4. Hi Jaymie! Nice pair! what was your injury related to? Hmm… makes me think about trying a new pair myself.. because actually, related to your post, i think i may be suffering from symptoms of an ITB Band injury (lateral/outside part of my right knee). not sure if it’s my stride/foot strike or shoe. been using Brooks Ghost4 where it became worse.. rested a few days and im trying now the NB Minimus road shoe. We’ll see.. but before it gets worse, wanted to have it checked alos – can you recommend any PT or Ortho who specializes in thses types of injuries? many thanks.
