New Balance 5280 v2

Design and innovation go hand in hand in this second version of the New Balance 5280, one of the shoes of the American brand that we can use on the track but also on asphalt in those shorter and explosive events.

The New Balance 5280 v2 is an athleticshoe that stands out for its great versatility and is designed to help improve our times thanks to the carbon fiber plate and the great technologies it has.

Features and strong points of the New Balance 5280 v2

New Balance continues to innovate in its high performance models as is the case with this model, designed for a very specific profile of athletes but who will be able to beat their records with this shoe.

The upper of the shoe features a seamless construction, very breathable but with differences with respect to the New Balance 5280, anyway, we are assured a great fit and a comfortable feeling while running with the shoe.

Elegance and sporty design are perfectly combined in this second version of the shoe, with a much more minimized heel design, to show them off while running fast.

The Fuelcell technology is responsible for providing cushioning in the midsole of the shoe, a technology that stands out for its good cushioning, but above all, for its great propulsion that provides us in each of our strides.

The midsole of the shoe has a carbon fiber plate that helps us to have a great reactivity, necessary to run fast and beat our times in the shortest distances.

The sole is one of the great innovations and differences of this model with other shoes currently on the market, as it has a design of small studs along the entire sole that allow us to run fast, both on athletics tracks and in short-distance events, such as the mile for example, on other terrains such as asphalt.

Runner profile and recommended distances of the New Balance 5280 v2

This is one of the lightest models designed by the American brand as it weighs only 150 grams (slightly heavier than the first version), however, this is a shoe designed not for all runner profiles, but for runners who are lightweight, fast and with a great running technique to get the most out of their performance.

It is a shoe that integrates some of the best innovations and materials of the Boston brand and has been tested and developed by some of the most prominent athletes of New Balance, so we will have no excuse not to run fast with them.

Regarding the recommended distances for this model, we would place ourselves in the middle and long distance as ideal distances to run comfortable and fast with them, in addition, it has a 6 mmdrop that will allow us to run more comfortable in those longer distances.

In short, this high performance model offers us the best of the improved Fuelcell technology that, combined with the carbon fiber plate that incorporates and the lightweight materials of its upper, will help us to run in a more reactive and faster way to beat our personal records, either on the track or on the asphalt.
