New Balance Fresh Foam X 880 v16
The newest 880 continues the line's role as New Balance's straightforward neutral daily trainer on a balanced Fresh Foam X platform. Changes from the v15 are incremental: a slightly lighter build and refreshed upper rather than a redesign. Buy it for consistent, durable daily mileage, not for tempo days.
