I've been wearing the Nike Air Span Triax for running for several years. They seem to have discontinued it. My last couple of pairs I have been able to find from old stocks on the internet, but those supplies seem to have run out. Does anyone know if Nike has an equivalent show in their current running show line up?
Sure there's an equivelant, the Kmart special for $9:99. actually that's quite a step up. So, lets hear about your injury history since you've been wearing that [censored]? Ankles? Knees? Hips? Lower back? Ah don't bother, we know...

You've got 2 pretty good choices. One is the Structure Triax and the other is the Max Moto. The new Structure Triax became more like the Span with the last update since it's not as strong stability wise as it once was. The Max Moto would be slightly less than the Span from a stability standpoint but you still get some support from the plastic shank in the arch and the PU in the heel.
If your size falls between 6 and 8, Eastbay's apparently still got some at $40 a pair. I snagged 3 pair of 8.5's at that price a few months back. It's my "heavyweight super cushioning" shoe, especially for long runs on pavement.
A couple years ago when I first tried this shoe at a shop, I also tried Asics' DS Trainer (model 7 or 8) which seemed pretty similar in fit, feel, and weight. FWIW.
