New Balance says if they only made one running shoe, that shoe would be the 1080. What makes the 1080 unique isnt just that its the best running shoe they make, its also the most versatile. The 1080 delivers top-of-the-line performance to every kind of runner, whether youre training for world-class competition, or catching a rush hour train. The Fresh Foam X 1080v13 represents a consistent progression of the models signature qualities. The smooth transitions of the pinnacle underfoot cushioning experience are fine-tuned with updated midsole mapping, which applies more foam to wider areas of the midsole and increases flexibility at the narrower points. The ultra-modern outlook is also reflected in the 1080s upper construction. The v13 offers a breathable yet supportive fit with an engineered mesh upper, for a more streamlined overall design.

Fresh Foam X midsole foam with approximately 3% bio-based content delivers New Balance's most cushioned Fresh Foam experience for incredible comfort. Bio-based content is made from renewable resources to help reduce carbon footprint.
