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 — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
