The Men's Fresh Foam X 1080v12 is the signature running model of the platform and the smoothest running experiences with an expressive and modern silhouette.
The 1080 is the pinnacle offering from New Balance’s running lineup. A combination of top-of-the-line performance technology and wide-ranging accessibility offers runners at every level of intensity more comfort over more distance. Simply put, there isn’t another shoe quite like the 1080. The 1080v12 fine tunes the cushioning, weight, and flexibility ratio that makes the 1080 so adaptable to the stresses that occur during the course of a run. Signature Fresh Foam X cushioning technology is paired with a lightweight, engineered knit upper, focused on breathability and stretch, and strategic supporting elements.
Went back to the 1080s recently to use as an everyday mileage shoe in the build up to the Berlin marathon. I have been doing most of my mileage in plated shoes and wanted something for easy pace and long runs, I feel the 1080s are a great shoe for getting the mileage in and can pick up the pace when needed.
Great shoe and will be my go-to training shoe for a long while. Very comfortable and easy to run in, and recommend it for anyone new to running after picking up my first pair at the start of my running journey. Staff at Blacktoe did a great job sizing me up (recommend a 0.5-1 size larger than your snug fit) and appreciate their great knowledge and customer service.
