Description
The New Balance 1080 v15 solidifies it's spot as the ultimate premium max-cushion daily trainer. Engineered for runners and walkers who refuse to sacrifice comfort over high weekly mileage, the updated 1080v15 introduces ground breaking underfoot technology to deliver a lighter, more energetic, and highly resilient ride.
Whether you are clocking easy recovery miles, deep into a marathon training block, or looking for the most comfortable walking shoes for all-day wear, the New Balance 1080 v15 cradles your feet and protects your joints from heavy pavement impact.
All-New Infinion™ Midsole Technology
The headline upgrade for the v15 is the introduction of New Balance’s state-of-the-art Infinion™ supercritical foam. Stepping away from standard Fresh Foam X, this TPE-based blend delivers a massive leap in energy return. It compresses softly to absorb shock but springs back smoothly, ensuring your legs feel fresh even at the tail-end of a 10-mile long run.
Premium Breathable Knit Upper & Custom Fit
Featuring a re-engineered woven knit upper with moulded contour detailing, the 1080 v15 offers exceptional midfoot lock-down without creating friction or hot spots.
Fluid Rocker Geometry
The strategically shaped forefoot rocker and heel bevel work harmoniously with your natural gait cycle. This geometry forces a incredibly smooth heel-to-toe transition, naturally pushing you forward into your next stride.
