New Balance 1080

Maximum comfort for your everyday run - New Balance 1080

The New Balance 1080 is the brand's flagship in the road cushioning category. At Footshop, we know that runners want more than just performance - they want an experience. This model is designed to pamper you at every impact, whether you're training for a marathon or going to clear your head after work.

Why choose the New Balance 1080?

The main benefit is the revolutionary Fresh Foam X foam, which offers an incredible ratio between softness and energy return. The premium Hypoknit knit upper wraps around the foot like a second sock, providing breathability where it's needed most.

• Suitable use: daily training, volume road runs, recovery lunges.
• Who They're For: Ideal for neutral-touch runners looking for superior, joint-friendly cushioning.
• Durability: They retain their properties for approximately 700-900 miles under normal use on paved surfaces.

The evolution of an iconic line

The 1080 is constantly moving forward. Here's an overview of the latest versions:

• v13: Current best seller. Focuses on an even softer heel-to-toe transition and lower weight.
• v14: (New 2025/2026) Brings improved stability in the midsole and a more aggressive outsole design for better traction.
• v15: Expected evolution with an emphasis on sustainable materials and even more energy efficient foam.

Interesting Fact: Did you know that the outsole geometry is designed based on data from real runners? New Balance maps the pressure points of the foot to create zones of cushioning exactly where the most stress occurs.
