There is nothing like it on the market to date. (But we are sure others will follow in the footsteps soon enough). To know Brooks footwear is to understand that their level of R & D is top notch.

Asics Blue Jean Mile
https://app.box.com/s/ua1n2tvmnjv41f79siesw67bf2e7j3e1/file/2170584210073
We are so excited to announce that we are doing an Asics Blue Jean Mile for Mental Health Awareness this May.
Please watch the video to learn more!
We are going to gather at the shop prior to the mile at the Hiawatha track. We are going to decorate our jeans for those interested. We can dedicate our miles to folks we are running for/reasons we are running for mental health. We will have a chance to share for those interested in doing so.
Some ideas if you are interested in raising funds for mental health:
1)
Old school jog-a-thon, ask your loved ones to donate money per lap/minute
2)
Take over/unders on your predicted mile finish time
3)
simply share your plans on social media with a link to an organization of your choosing.
Traditionally Asics Blue Jean Mile has donated to NAMI
Asics will be providing giveaways!!
We look forward to sharing in this special event with you!
