Having seen what we love about these high-end training shoes from New Balance, it's time to talk about all the improvements this model implements. The evolved Fresh Foam X foam, the brand's trademark, is full-length, which leads to a softer and more comfortable cushioning sensation in each kilometer run, but also increases its rebound capacity.

The biggest change in this model from its previous version of the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v11 is in its upper. The seamless construction of its upper is a big step forward in eliminating hot spots and friction, while offering a sock-like fit. All this change is also reflected in a reduction of the model's weight .

Another significant improvement of these New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v12 from New Balance lies in the rear of the shoe, which has been redesigned with a more traditional design, but one that allows it to fit a wider variety of users, taking into account the shape of their feet. In other words, the heel now appears higher, and that translates into a greater degree of comfort.

It should also be noted that this is a more sustainable model, because it complies with the Green Leaf standard for environmentally friendly products, since recycled materials are used in its construction.

Uses, distances and runner profile of the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v12

On the other hand, and no less important, we have to focus on the ideal target audience for this top-of-the-range running shoe in terms of cushioning. Its target audience is: runners with a neutral stride and intermediate or heavy weights -even over 80 kilos-.

Designed to run at gentle, calm and controlled paces. From 05:20 min/km and up. As a daily training shoe, this New Balance silhouette is designed to offer the best performance over medium and long distances. Although due to its versatility it can be adapted to all types of distances depending on the runner's profile.

In short, the concept of these New Balance is that of a running shoe that ensures you stride with a soft, flexible and dynamic cushioning suitable for almost everything, both for daily workouts and for long distances. A real runner to eat up the miles.
