The New Balance 880 series is conceived as a running shoe with a long-term view. This is a good option for covering long distance runs. And this time, the 880 is now in its seventh version with a number of new features to improve its running performance.
Thus, although the New Balance 880 v7 still maintains the breathable engineered mesh upper (FantomFit), this new model provides a better midfoot fit than the previous model of the 880 v6. The reason for this improvement is that the upper has been made seamless, resulting in more support and a noticeably lighter fit.
Among the strengths of the New Balance 880 v7 are performance and comfort, which are associated with the Boston-based company's most advanced cushioning technologies. That is why the midsole incorporates the innovative TruFuse cushioning system, consisting of a combination of Abzorb and Acteva foams, already seen in the previous version and in other reference models such as the NB 860 v7. The arrangement of these compounds makes this running shoe provide greater sensations of elasticity and cushioning in each step.
In addition, the new geometries incorporated in the outsole of the NB 880 v7 also reinforce both the flexibility and the softness of the model, resulting in the runner enjoying a more comfortable and safe run.
Thus, the 315 grams of weight of the New Balance 880 v7 makes it an option for pronator and neutral runners of any weight, and suitable for either intensive workouts, or for more intermediate workouts.
