New Balance 1500 v5, features and most important novelties

In a quick and synthesized way, when talking about the novelties of these New Balance 1500 v5 we must highlight its perforated mesh upper, which also includes layers of latest generation technology with the idea of providing the lightness and support that every fast running shoe needs, without sacrificing support and cushioning (REVlite).

The first stop is to comment on the upper of the New Balance 1500 v5. This part of the shoe features an engineered mesh (Engineered Mesh), which is based on the right combination of lightweight materials, and allows to reduce the presence of seams to a minimum. This improves the breathability of the model, but also reinforces the support and fit of the midfoot.

In the cushioning capacity of the New Balance 1500 v5, the full REVlite midsole has a lot to say, and in dual density format on its inner side, thus offering extra stability control. In addition to the TPU material, T-Beam, which provides support and more torsion in the arch area, also comes into play. All this contributes to that feeling of being faster and more agile in each stride.

By the way, the detail for triathletes is located, especially, in that elastic strap located in the heel, which is light and comfortable. This element greatly facilitates the action of putting on and taking off the shoe without wasting time, and therefore contributes to faster transitions. Something to which is also added its elastic laces.

Lighter outsole

Another important detail that does not go unnoticed in the New Balance 1500 v5 is the new outsole. The bet of New Balance designers has as a premise to play with the degree of density in different areas, and thus stimulate the transition of the foot is the most appropriate.

In this sense, the New Balance 1500 v5 increases the amount of Solid Rubber material in the front of the shoe, which extends the life of the model.

But, without a doubt, one of the most innovative elements is the new distribution of the cleat, which favors a higher level of grip on the surface, and also to be more resistant to wear in the most exposed areas.

We can not put the final point without referring to the aesthetics of these New Balance 1500 v5 that, as you can see, presents a bold and aggressive design, as very aerodynamic, and invites you to run fast to beat the clock.
