New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v15 Men's Running Shoes
The New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v15 Men's Running Shoes are premium cushioned road running shoes built for everyday kilometres, recovery runs and longer distances. Finished in White / Satsuma Orange and offered in a standard men's D width, the v15 combines New Balance's new Infinion midsole technology with a lightweight perforated mesh upper for a comfortable, responsive ride.
The v15 introduces Infinion cushioning, designed to deliver lasting softness while maintaining responsive energy return across regular training kilometres.
The new Infinion midsole is designed to provide long-lasting cushioning while maintaining a responsive feel underfoot.
It absorbs impact through each landing before returning energy into the next stride, giving the 1080 v15 the combination of cushioning and responsiveness needed for everyday road running. This makes it particularly well suited to runners building regular mileage or spending longer periods on their feet.
A perforated mesh upper promotes airflow around the foot, helping manage heat during warmer runs and longer training sessions.
The lightweight construction complements the cushioned midsole without adding unnecessary bulk, while moulded contour detailing provides additional structure and gives the v15 its updated appearance.
A durable rubber outsole provides dependable traction for regular running on sealed roads and shared pathways.
Combined with the cushioned midsole, the outsole makes the 1080 v15 a versatile option for runners looking for one shoe to cover everyday kilometres, easier recovery sessions and longer road runs.
Who are the New Balance 1080 v15 best for?
