Getting free stuff, including sneakers, often comes with the territory when you are a celebrity. But what IS rare is when a celebrity merits a customized sneaker based on their athletic accomplishments. Such is the case with comedian Eddie Izzard, who completed 43 marathons in 51 days in his New Balances on behalf of Sports Relief--a huge feat for even the most avid runners.
Emblazoned with "Eddie Iz Running" across the toecaps, New Balance rewarded Izzard with his own personalized 576's as a testimony to his amazing charitable and personal accomplishment. Job well done Eddie!
