Nobull — NOBULL

If you’ve spent any time in the gym in the last couple of years, you’ve definitely seen more than a handful of gym-goers wearing NOBULL’s ultra-comfortable sneakers. Today, NOBULL just launched a brand new redesign of their most versatile sneaker yet: the Drive 2. Built for athletes and everyday gym-goers, this new sneaker is ideal for strength training, cardio, and any type of movement you can think of. This hybrid training sneaker has been re-engineered for maximum comfort, style, and performance — and is available now.

NOBULL’s new Drive 2 sneaker features a number of improvements designed to improve wearability and performance, such as as an improved mesh upper for lightweight breathability. Additionally, they’ve expanded offerings for a more inclusive fit to meet the needs of a wider range of athletes. An updated EVA midsole foam helps enhance support and stability during strength training, while added padding in the collar and tongue helps support better cardio performance. For NOBULL, the idea is that workouts don’t need to be one-dimensional which means your workout shoes shouldn’t be either.

The new Drive 2 sneaker is priced at $150 and is available in eight colorways — which include Jet Black Classic White, Classic White Gum, Midnight Classic White, Classic White Sunrise, Lagoon Pear, Pink Glo, Red Storm, and Classic White Urban Blue. Other key highlights include the low 4mm heel-to-toe drop versatility across strength training and cardio and a responsive, 100% Pebax® foam midsole that makes the sneaker responsive, light, and comfortable.

From wheelchair to walking: The power of mindset, movement, and never giving up

Sometimes it's the hardest roads that lead us to a deeper sense of purpose

I never expected I'd have to learn how to walk again. That journey took me from writing for doctors and magazines to spending thousands of hours researching health and autoimmune disease. When we have excellent health, many of us don’t give it much thought until those sneaky symptoms start to show, and one day it all comes crashing down. Now, our health becomes one of the most important priorities. When we feel good, we can be more productive and chase our dreams. When our health declines and we don’t feel so good, one of our biggest dreams is just to feel better.

I became a health writer 12 years ago, shortly after graduating with my creative writing degree and getting a diagnosis of the autoimmune bone condition, ankylosing spondylitis. In an effort to improve my health, stay mobile, and help prevent my bones from calcifying and fusing, I spent thousands of hours studying everything from nutrition and naturopathy to conventional medicine and holistic healing. I heard this somewhere, so I can’t take credit, but I like to say I went to “save my ass university”, because pain and illness are some of the biggest motivators.

I tried Magic Mind for a month and here is what happened to my productivity

Does Magic Mind really help with your productivity or is it just another buzz.

Furniture, Business Card, Paper

I am proudly an all-brown beverage man. I say it often: I am coffee in the morning, bourbon in the evening, and Pepsi/Coke in between. I know what you're thinking: What about water? Well, all of those are mostly water. And who wants to drink the same thing they bathe in? That sounds gross. All jokes aside, the coffee addiction is real, and I am not alone. Who thinks they can truly conquer a day without a hard shot of caffeine? I would get it in an IV if it were feasible to do on the subway instead of a cup to go. But that doesn't have to be the only way you develop your productivity. Instead, you can look to the more natural and healthy methods to maintain and increase your effectiveness. I got my hands on some Magic Mind recently, one of the many different products that claim to elevate brain health, increase mental performance, and, of course, replace the coffee without losing the energy boost. But does it work?

NOBULL debuts new colorways for daily running shoe, Journey 2

Four new colorways just dropped for NOBULL's best-selling Journey 2 sneaker

NOBULL

NOBULL's Journey 2 sneaker is one of my favorite go-to sneakers for the gym (and my husband's, too). There's really something to be said about a sneaker that adds comfort, style, and durability to your gym outfit. I've been wearing these weekly for awhile now -- but now NOBULL has dropped even more fun colors in the same comfortable show. Just in time for the summer, NOBULL just dropped four new colorways in the Journey 2, including Classic White Cayenne, Classic White Signal Pink, Lunar Mineral White, and Blue Haze. These fun, vibrant colors add a touch of color to every gym outfit.

With a plate-less design, Journey 2 delivers a naturally smooth, cushioned ride. A multi-surface outsole provides reliable grip across varied terrain, while NOBULL’s unique stability chassis keeps your foot locked in through every stride and transition, so you can move freely wherever the miles take you. While I'm not usually one to make a statement with my athletic footwear, I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the drop of these new colors. The four new colors join the line up that still includes the classic colors, such as Classic White, Jet Black, and Molten.
