Features
New Balance elevated the Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 to make your daily runs easier. A new Fresh Foam X compound is lighter and softer, while giving you more pop so your feet don’t sink into the shoe. A new midsole geometry rolls you forward for smoother transitions and gives you energetic toe-offs. The result is a reduced heel-to-toe drop from 8 mm in the v12 to 6 mm in the latest version.
A new mesh upper feels plush on your feet. It is a little stretchy, yet has zonal structure to keep your foot locked in over that cushioning and provide more structure and support. New Balance also thinned out the rubber coverage on the bottom of the shoe to decrease the weight.
