Fortunately, there are now several all black running shoes. (Unfortunately for me few come in 4E!)
Brooks and ASICS have a few 'black' options. Holabird Sports is a good website to look or support your local running specialty store.
As this is my second pair of AirMax to blow out, previously I had a pair of 360s blow out on me it could be that I am a heal toe runner. That would not surprise me. I did lose 30lbs since I had the 360's.
