The New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v14 Women’s Running Shoes!
Whether you're racking up the weekday kms or lining up for race day, the NB Fresh Foam X 1080 v14 delivers the kind of comfort and performance that makes it a go-to for serious runners. This women’s road running shoe is built to handle everything from long slow runs to tempo sessions, with soft cushioning and a natural-feeling ride.
The v14 update brings a reshaped Fresh Foam X midsole, giving you more cushion without any added bulk. The new rocker profile helps your stride roll smoothly from heel to toe, keeping transitions efficient and easy on the legs. Up top, the triple jacquard mesh upper adds zoned breathability and structure, while extra rubber in high-wear spots boosts durability over time.
The Earth Shadow colourway keeps things understated and sharp. A sleek, neutral look for training or everyday wear.

Cushion
-
The material that absorbs the impact against the ground. The more cushioning utilised, the softer a shoe will feel underfoot.
---------------
Neutral Support
-
Normal sized Arches.
-
During push off there is an even distribution from the front of the foot.
-
The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward to absorb the shock and support body weight.
---------------
Drop
-
The difference from the heel of the shoe to the forefoot.
-
Shoes with a higher heel drop tend to be preferred by runners that land heel-first.
-
Shoes with a lower heel drop are often favoured by forefoot or midfoot strikers.
