With all of you the new New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10, and hold on tight because there is a complete revolution in every way: Aesthetics and technology at all points of the model. But also maintaining the essence of being one of the references in Running shoes with optimal cushioning and comfort, and now even more responsive in each stride.
The product developers of the famed Boston firm have waited for such a special and round edition as the tenth interaction of the flagship of New Balance to propose a total redesign, from head to toe of these New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10. So there are many new features, and very interesting in the three key sections of a running shoe, such as:
So it is convenient to go by parts, since these renewed New Balance 1080v10 also bet on a change of concept of what has been seen so far in the American brand.
A note that is worth remembering, and taking into account, and is that its previous version, the New Balance 1080v9, have been distinguished as the best redesign of Running shoes of 2019 in the VII Runnea Awards to the best Running shoes 2019. And with the launch of the Fresh Foam v10, things are pointing in the same direction.
Regarding all the news that brings with it this new redesign of the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10 we start with its midsole, which has been redefined showing an evolution of the most popular foam of the Fresh Foam, whose technological advance responds Fresh Foam X.
Thanks to the analysis of the data provided by the runners themselves, they serve to provide more precision to the construction of the midsole, which in these Fresh Foam 1080v10 is now more intelligent, because it provides greater lightness, more cushioning capacity and more reactivity in each step.
But in order to understand New Balance 's increased commitment, we must focus on the evolution of the geometries. From the uniform hexagonal shapes of the New Balance 1080v9 we move on to more organic, asymmetrical and irregular shapes. This favors more precise convex and concave areas to reduce high joint stress points.
It is noticeable that these New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10 include more Fresh Foam X foam. The idea is to combine cushioning, premium rebound, support and softness, resulting in better performance with every step.
More changes in these Fresh Foam 1080v10 are found in its upper, which is constructed with an engineered mesh, Hypoknit, knitted fabric, which offers more flexibility, and also greater support in the heel area. With all this, the fit offered by this model may be similar to that of its previous version, but certainly more refined.
As for the outsole of these New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10, this also redesigned to make it more flexible, optimizing grip and traction, and thus facilitating each transition.
In the technical specifications chapter, these New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10 do not vary with its 8-millimeterdrop, despite having more height of its midsole. This new redesign also serves to lighten the weight of the shoe: 281 grams for the men's version, and 238 grams for the women's model.
All in all, superior comfort and a cutting-edge, highly visual design, plus a flexible knit upper. All this makes for a running shoe with a lot of personality to cover long distances with maximum safety and protection in each stride.
As is usually the case with New Balance shoes, although they are for sports, they are very "wearable". These New Balance 1080v10 are spectacular.
