New Balance Ellipse v1 Men’s Running Shoes
The New Balance Ellipse v1 Men’s Running Shoes are neutral road running shoes built for daily training on sealed surfaces. They’re suited to recreational runners, club athletes building base mileage, and anyone chasing consistent weekly kilometres. The Deep End, Glint Blue and Medusa Green colour options offer a more understated finish while keeping the same performance platform.
This is a dependable daily trainer designed for comfort across regular road sessions.
Cushioned for Consistency
Fresh Foam X delivers soft impact protection while maintaining a responsive feel. At 273 grams with an 8mm heel drop, the Ellipse promotes a natural transition from heel to toe without feeling flat or overly aggressive.
The subtle rocker geometry helps smooth your stride, particularly useful on longer aerobic runs or recovery days.
Structured Where It Matters
The engineered mesh upper uses layered construction to balance airflow and midfoot support. That means better breathability through the forefoot and more hold through the arch area.
A gusseted tongue, stretch laces and internal liner create a secure, customised feel. Once locked in, the shoe stays stable without excessive movement inside.
Reflective detailing improves visibility in low light, practical for winter training blocks.

Cushioning
-
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.
