The New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v14 releases globally today, Thursday, October 10th. That's 10/10. Perfect. A little more than 10 days ago I hinted at listing 10 reasons to buy the 1080 on 10/10. I'm a man of my word, so.....here we go:
Breathability – engineered mesh upper? Yes, please.
Colors – currently wearing, as I type, the Pale Moss With New Spruce And Linen. Loving the Grey Matter With Silver Metallic And Inkwell. The Black With Magnet And Linen goes with everything.
Comfortability – 'cushiony'. See New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v13.
Lightweight – the 1080 series is famous for lightweight uppers.
Responsiveness – increased forefoot stiffness from v13. Nice pop!
Running Versatility – one–milers up to ultramarathons, training AND race day.
Style – great looking shoe. The '1080' on the ankle collar is an elite touch.
Sustainability – made from renewable resources to help reduce our carbon footprint
Traction – more rubber added in high wear areas.
Wearing Versatility – errand runs, coffee runs, playoff runs (as a fan obvi.....)
