The New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v14 aims to be an ideal blend of what every runner or walker wants: adaptive soft cushioning with a phenomenal upper in a surprisingly lightweight package. Carrying on a best selling legacy, this update features a new Fresh Foam X midsole design with higher sidewalls to enhance inherent underfoot stability and ensure all-day comfort. The outsole delivers long-lasting traction with more rubber in high wear areas, while New Balance has thoughtfully increased the forefoot stiffness for livelier toe-off. Completing the shoe is a new engineered mesh upper that combines improved breathability, a performance fit, and all-day wearability. Fresh Foam X midsole foam with approximately 3% bio-based content delivers our most cushioned Fresh Foam experience for incredible comfort. Bio-based content is made from renewable resources to help reduce our carbon footprint. For the best fit, we advise customers to avail of our detailed gait analysis service.
