Myke's Summer Staff Pick: Brooks Green Silence
"Brooks has married performance with eco-innovation in their awesome, lightweight Green Silence. Made from as varied recycled materials as water bottles, sofa cushions and CDs, with water-based glue and non-toxic dyes, this 6.9oz beauty is as responsible as it is good-looking. And at $110 you'll have room in your wallet leftover for all that extra karma."

Michael's Winter Staff Pick
January 2010: "If you're waiting for the cold and the rain to end before hitting the road or trail again, I'll see you in May. But if you want out there now, the Nike Air Pegasus GTX is your ticket to ride. Waterproof, breathable, warm and rugged, this neutral cushioned runner is ideal for road and trail, wherever the weather is the most inclement. Pair with Smartwool 3/4 crew running socks and a Nike windproof tight, you'll be miles ahead of all those pansies who waited till May."
