New Balance Team Store - Adding Lifestyle Shoes (and 880s)!
Endorphins is fully community led. Meaning we often send polls out to the community to gather input and feedback to ensure the the global community is growing with your best interest in mind. In Community Vote #22 we polled the community on whether you would like Lifestyle Shoes added to the New Balance team store.
An overwhelming 92% of community members voted in favor it would be great to have both lifestyle and performance products in the team store!
With this in mind… we have added both 530 and the 550 in White / Silver and White / Black color ways!
Additionally, we have added the following running shoes to the team store.
Fresh Foam X 1080v13 - crafted for any run and premium comfort
Fresh Foam X 880v14 - crafted for daily miles. Neutral cushioning – for runners who do not require additional stability
FuelCell SuperComp Elite v3 - (limited inventory) - crafted for race day
All items in our team store for Endorphins community members are 30% off retail price! Items remain in the store until inventory runs out. We will be refreshing items every month so if you miss out on an item this month you will have another chance down the line!
To access the team store head over to #Brand Discounts where we have all the details for the team store outlined!
Congrats to Queens 10k Finishers
Over the weekend, hundreds of Endorphins members raced in the New York Road Runners - Queens 10k! One of the most special aspects of being part of the Endorphins community is the constant encouragement from others who are pushing their limits and achieving new personal goals. This collective drive inspires us all to become better versions of ourselves! Check out these Medal Monday photos for some motivation! When you tackle your race, you'll have tens of thousands of members cheering you on!

Next Drop Details!!!
First and foremost seeing people rocking the Drop 005 shirts live and in person is such a cool thing that keeps us all connected. There are many ways Endorphins members can be involved with our community. Some may identify with the group by showing up every Monday morning. Many members connect with Endorphins via our virtual community resources or Endorphins 365. Some members have never been to a run…. however believe in our mission of spreading positivity and happiness. Regardless of how you identify, engage, or connect, our gear unites us all in a different way. And that is awesome!!
Our city leads have been ideating on concepts for our next drop and we are working with our manufacturer to sample several items. Here are a list of items our team is working on. We share this to offer transparency into the behind the scenes in our gear so you can ultimately offer input, and co create these products with us. At the end of the day, we want to make sure any products we bring to life are built in collaboration with you and the rest of our community. Like our community votes, this will ensure we are making items that are best suited for you and the rest of our members!
Items we are sampling:
City Hoodies - our same hoodies from Drop 003 with City Badges on the sleeve
Updated performance hats - with a bungee cord strap to offer flexibility in sizing
Socks - performance socks for you to train in
Singlets - finally something for you to rep on race day
Collab w/ New Balance - 👀👀👀👀👀
The last thing I will say is. We initially were very hesitant to share the above with the community. Our city leads operate under an under promise and over deliver framework. What this means is… we never want to let you and our community down by making promises we can’t deliver on!
With this in mind, the products outlined above may never be created. Want to make that explicitly clear lol. But in an effort to remain transparent and grow with the community, we have decided to share the above so you can remain in the loop on everything we are working on!!!
We will be posting way more details as things unfold. These things take a ton of heart and effort, and time, and since we are not a huge brand… we are limited in many ways when it comes to making things happen. On the flip side… this makes the products we do create even more special once they come to life!!
Giveaway Time!!!
Last week we conducted several giveaways via our instagram and within the community. We have DM’d all winners. Some of you won New Balance shoes, some members won access to Endorphins 365 - our annual coaching program!
LETS RUN IT BACK!!! Comment the ⚡💙 on this post to be entered and we will choose several members to win some New Balance Lifestyle kicks!
Have an awesome week!
Only the best,
Tyler ⚡💙
