Will they come in different widths!? As I find I am not the only one bummed about how wide the new 101′s are with no narrower options.

@jeremy, according to Katherine Minimus is an entire shoe line and not just a one shoe name. So it’s very likely that there could be a Crossfit version in the works… so far they’ve confirmed there are running, trail running, and wellness shoes in the works.

@KP thanks for the clarification! Will update the information in the post. We’re really excited for these shoes. Apologize for my poor artist’s rendering of the shoes

Isn’t there a “Crossfit” specific shoe coming out in November?

The picture of the shoes with the green tags on them is the lifestyle or “walking/recovery” shoe in the 3 shoe collection. To date there are no pictures of the road or trail out there. Im sure pictures will surface once unveiled @ OR. All the shoes will have a 4mm heel to toe drop. They will be very minimal, I have tried them on.

Thanks for early coverage on the collection. Just to clarify, NB Minimus is not just one shoe, but a collection that will include 3 different models: running, trail running & wellness. All of the models share key elements of reduced stack height, 4mm heel to toe drop, new last and extremely low weight. But the sole and upper of each has been tuned for different end uses.
