New update, adapting to the most advanced technologies of New Balance. That's what you'll find if you wear the sixth version of the successful 1260 saga of the American firm. With great stability, the NB 1260 v6 focuses a large part of its new features on improving cushioning. And all of this is contained in a style adapted to the current times.
The key to the success of this top-of-the-range shoe in terms of stability and cushioning lies in the right combination of materials and technologies. In the midsole of the New Balance 1260v6, Abzorb, N2 - heel - and Acteva compounds are mixed to result in amuch smoother transition, providing greater stability. A stability that also has the T-Beam support, dual density in the forefoot area, and which helps guide the tread, and minimizes impacts.
As in its predecessor -NB 1260v5, the outsole of the New Balance 1260v6 maintains both the pattern and the compound, which is made of Blown Rubber, a rubber that is slightly harder in the heel area and softer in the middle and front of the shoe. This increases the durability and improves the grip, respectively, of the model.
The substantial change in the New Balance 1260v6 is located in its upper, since it incorporates a more breathable and more elastic mesh, which contributes to provide superior comfort and better fit.
Its drop of 8 millimeters, with its weight of 326 grams, positions this shoe as a valid option for runners of medium and high weight, looking for protection and stability in their training and competitions of medium and long distance.
