Terry Fox Fashion
There’s both a huge ad and an article in today’s Globe about the 6,500 pairs of Adidas trainers, replicas of the ones worn by Terry Fox on his run, that go on sale today. The shoes, sold exclusively at 
Sportchek, will retail for $100 and sales of the retro navy kicks are expected to raise $500,000 for cancer research.
The Orion was launched in 1979, and though Terry went through nine left shoes, he never had to change the right one. Kind of cool that they’re bringing out the shoe in time for the annual Terry Fox Run, and since a pair of Converse can easily run you $100 these days, might as well put your sneaker money towards a good cause, if you’re in need of a new pair. Then you must go run a marathon.
