One of the few running shoes that doesn't look like a clown shoe, it needs no break-in and feels great the first time you put it on.  New Balance takes a very dim view of discounters so the deal I got was buried several clicks deep and represented about 40% off.  The prices on this shoe vary all over the map with time and also depending on what color and size you're looking for.  So it pays to be patient and watch for a deal.  I bought my "next" pair months before I needed it because the price got right.  Shortly after that it jumped over $30 but more deals will come.
