New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v15
The latest version of New Balance's premium max-cushion daily trainer, still centered on a thick, soft Fresh Foam X midsole and rockered ride. The v15 trims a bit of weight from the v14 while keeping the same plush, easy-mile character. It remains a comfort-first shoe for daily miles, long runs, and recovery days.
Reach for the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v15 for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
