New Balance MX20 V7

The New Balance brand has launched the new design of the training shoe Minimus MX20v7, in this edition the American house has placed special emphasis on the outside renewing the upper and betting on a much lighter model, less than 200gr. It is a model designed for an athlete looking for a shoe focused on high-impact sports or strength training. More specifically for explosive exercises such as Crossfit, hence the lightness of this sports shoe.

Speaking of Crossfit, we remind you that the specific footwear for this sport requires five premises: flexibility, freedom of movement, traction, breathability and durability. All of these features are covered in the New Balance Minimus MX20v7 training shoe. And for this, the Boston-based brand has also intensified stability by adding lateral reinforcement and breathability-enhancing elements. So the user will be able to improve their marks while maintaining the comfort of their feet.

New Balance Minimus MX20v7 lightness and maximum comfort

The New Balance Minimus MX20v7 has a midsole composed of REVLite foam with a remarkable increase in stability. A technology developed by New Balance that not only improves cushioning and responsiveness, but also enhances the durability of the sneaker. This component is one of New Balance 's lightest foams, so it is one of the points that helps to maintain its lightness.

As mentioned above, the big physical change of this shoe is in its upper, as it is a fully kn itted strip that also increases the fit to the foot. This redesign maintains a neat aesthetic with a minimalist design. It has a seamless upper with superior comfort and maintains the usual Asym fit. Likewise, the American company has opted to add a lateral reinforcement of nylon threads in addition to mesh vents that aim to increase the breathability of the foot and control its temperature. This increases the athlete's comfort.

The outsole is made of a single piece of Vibram which we have already seen in other New Balance models. For example, in many of its trail running models, ensuring maximum grip on different surfaces. This material allows the athlete to maintain a firm feel while exercising.

Finally, as for the technical specifications, we have already mentioned that the weight of 194 gr is one of the highlights of the Minimus MX20v7 so it is positioned as one of the lightest on the market. The drop is 4mm, so the cushioning will be lower than in other running shoes.

The MX20 V7 shoe features the following technologies:

• Vibram outsole: one-piece outsole, which we have already seen in many other trail running models, ensuring maximum grip on different surfaces.

• Meta support

• REVLite foam midsole: provides improved stability, cushioning and consequently also enhances durability.

• Asym fit: found in the seamless upper for an optimal fit

• Fully knitted upper: an unusual material that provides a better fit and a minimalist look to the sports shoe.
• Mesh vents: for increased breathability and temperature control.
• Drop 4mm
