We also recommend keeping an eye out for the RUNNEA Magazine post, because as the official launches take place, and more news from New Balance comes out, we will update the content so that you are fully up to date on the Boston brand.
Here's an early look at the latest offerings from New Balance, covering both running and trail running for the upcoming year. We'll keep you updated as we unveil more exciting developments from one of the world's most popular brands.
Yes, we know it's not one of the new shoes arriving in 2024, because the release of the latest edition of the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 has taken place during the last quarter of 2023. But being the running shoe that it is, from RUNNEA we are sure that it will give a lot to talk about during the next season. The Boston brand does not lose the essence of what its reference model and top of the range means. These renewed Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 stand out for their smooth transitions transmitted by their exclusive cushioning system, but also thanks to the construction of a new midsole.
In this version, the amount of foam is greater in the wider areas, but also enhances flexibility in the narrower ones. On the other hand, this model also provides a breathable and stable fit, which comes from its technical mesh upper and a much more streamlined design compared to the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v12 version. We are probably talking about New Balance Balance's best running shoe to date.
