The new revision of the Vazee Coast series from New Balance reaches its second installment while maintaining the essence of its original version: being a very versatile running shoe, which continues to stand out for its successful combination of fit and comfort for the runner. Especially for that profile of runner who is looking for a light and fast model, but who does not renounce to have a more than acceptable cushioning.
Another strong point of the NB Vazee Coast v2 is still focused on the aesthetic aspect of the model, because the second edition of the Vazee Coast also has an attractive sporty style, which fits perfectly as a sneaker option to wear with any casual look, and beyond its functionality in training.
Regarding the technologies used, the NB Vazee Coast v2 seems to be in the same line as the Vazee Rush or the Vazee Pace, although its midsole incorporates a totally different compound such as IMEVA: injection-molded EVA foam, which replaces the REVlite material. This material (IMEVA) guarantees a firm tread, but with a more pleasant sensation and direct contact with the ground.
Bearing in mind that the Vazee family of New Balance is directly related to all the fastestRunning shoes of the American firm, the NB Vazee Coast v2 also have as main feature that of being a model with a lightweight upper construction (226 grams of weight) and seamless, something that allows to wear them without the risk of suffering skin irritation. In short, the NB Vazee Coast v2 features a more comfortable and breathable upper.
The outsole of the NB Vazee Coast v2 does not bring with it any major changes from its predecessor. The outsole pattern maintains its minimalist style, and includes new rubber compound reinforcements in the areas most exposed to wear, such as the forefoot and heel. A resource that contributes to the model gaining in resistance, and prolongs its useful life for more kilometers of training or competition.
The technical specifications of the NB Vazee Coast v2 also remain unchanged, with a drop of 8 millimeters, and slightly lower weights of 226 grams for the men's model and187 grams for the women's version. Profile of neutral runner on asphalt for competition, and with a good quality/price ratio.
