29 Groundbreaking Runners

From Skin-Like Sneakers to Lunar Running Shoes

These groundbreaking runners will take you back to the days when sneakers were more about function than fashion statements.

The first thing any runner will tell you when you're seeking advice on jogging is to get a decent pair of shoes. Those words have never been more true, especially with companies like Adidas and Nike constantly reinventing sneakers that are all about function and, of course, style as well. Most have started using lighter material and are integrating flex technology to provide comfort, breathability and high performance.

For those looking for a decent pair of running shoes and don't know where to start, don't sweat. These groundbreaking runners will give you an idea of what to look for, whether it's style or functionality.
