New Balance 880 v6

One of the latest models of the Boston brand that joins the innovative Fresh Foam line. Thus, the sixth update of the New Balance 880 has as its hallmarks: great cushioning, durability, comfort and excellent value for money, being an option that gains many integers for neutral runners, weighing less than 75 kilos, and who are accustomed to daily workouts, and even competitions. Another interesting detail is focused on runners weighing more than 75 kilos, because the New Balance 880v6 can work well for races without long distances (short or medium distance).

LowerDrop and better response

One of the big changes in the 880v6 compared to its predecessor, the 880v5, lies in its drop change. The usual 12 millimeters of the previous version are reduced to 10 millimeters. This is due to the fact that this sixth version uses the PL-10 last.

There are few variations in the midsole of the 880v6, and the exclusive New Balance systems ABZORB (dense foam) and ACTEVA Lite (lightweight foam) continue to be used, the combination of which results in a shoe capable of minimizing and softening impacts, providing more durability and improving the model's response.

On the other hand, the typical T-Beam piece, which is placed in themidfoot, also provides that extra stability and a touch of rigidity in the face of torsion. A detail that also contributes to the asymmetrical heel. Regarding the design of the outsole it brings small changes, but whose drawing still maintains the flexibility needed to develop faster transitions.

Renewed upper to offer more breathability and comfort.

Where the changes are noticeable is in its upper, in which the New Balance 880v6 incorporates a new more breathable and comfortable mesh. In addition to a more modern aesthetic. There are also elements whose mission is to improve the fit, and the reflective details of the New Balance logo that come in handy to improve visibility in low light conditions.
