New Balance Vazee Breathe v2

The spring season is synonymous with good weather, and also that one already has in mind, and expect the imminent arrival of summer and heat. For those months of high temperatures that are to come New Balance has the perfect answer to run with heat: the surprising Vazee Breathe range, the most breathable model of the American firm that reaches its second version, repeating concepts of the original model, but also introducing some new ones, and thus improving the running experience.

That is why the renewed NB Vazee Breathe v2 maintains the premise of providing freshness and responsiveness for a running shoe designed by and for the summer season. In addition, the NB Vazee Breathe v2 still retains those outstanding features that label it as a lightweight, fast and well-cushioned model.

Updated model with a more rolling profile

The unchanged arguments in the Vazee Breathe v2 focus on the innovative NB Heat Foil technology, already seen in its predecessor model, and through which it is able to divert the heat emanating from the asphalt away from the feet. This practical resource consists of a rigid sheet, interposed between the midsole and the outsole, whose mission is to keep the feet cool, regardless of the temperature outside.

In the midsole of the NB Vazee Breathe v2, RevLite foam continues to be the main protagonist, extending along its entire length to ensure a comfortable and soft cushioning. Although, this time, the feeling is that the shoe has a more rolling profile than the first version.

The upper of the second version of the Vazee Breathe v2 also uses that characteristic engineered mesh upper monolayer, but with a significant detail that the unique Jacquard fabric is visibly more perforated for maximum breathability.

The outsole is the part of the shoe where the changes and update to the NB Vazee Breathe v2 are most noticeable, in addition to including more flex grooves. Its drawing represents a wave-shaped design, and that has its raison d'être in improving grip in each kilometer that is run.

In terms of technical specifications, the NB Vazee Breathe does not vary much compared to its predecessor. The drop the shoe remains at 6 millimeters, and weighs approximately 278 grams.
