What better way to salute the pain-wracked majesty of Joy Division than strapping on a pair of gleaming white, box fresh running shoes?
These limited edition trainers, designed by Boston-based company New Balance, feature the artwork from the legendary Manchester band's debut Unknown Pleasures - though we're not sure if that album's mood of suffocating despair can really be conveyed via the medium of footwear.
Still, the perfect gift for the miserablist athlete in your life.
