New Balance just released the newest member of the Fresh Foam X family, the Fresh Foam X 1080v13.

The soft and comfortable yet light and bouncy Fresh Foam X 1080v13 represents a significant leap forward in New Balance's innovation and craftsmanship.

It combines a fusion of comfort and high-performance features, making it the preferred choice for a wide range of running scenarios, from everyday training to competitive racing.

Research and development from the New Balance Sports Research Lab includes the introduction of a new outsole design that increases forefoot stiffness and features an enhanced rocker profile.
