From the moment I opened the box of the New BalanceCars 3-inspired Vazee Pace V2 running shoes (limited edition), I was surprised with the attention to detail. From the wonderfully accurate "Lightning McQueen" red color to the subtle touches, like his "lucky sticker" lightning bolt, I couldn't wait to lace them up and go for a run. The shoes garnered a fair amount of attention when I wore them casually as well — people gravitated towards the bright red color and their natural reaction when I told them they were McQueen-inspired shoes (but also legitimate running shoes) was to smile and say, "wow, that's so cool".

After giving the shoes a solid test, I found the show to fit true-to-size, and the width was perfect for my feet (I have an ever-so-slightly wider foot than standard, but the Vazee was a perfect fit in the toe box area).
