Today, New Balance unveils the newest iteration in the Fresh Foam X family – the Fresh Foam X 1080v13. The Fresh Foam X 1080v13 is at the forefront of New Balance running and the brand’s dedication to innovation and craftmanship. The Fresh Foam X 1080v13 brings a new experience with supreme soft cushioning, elevated comfort, and an improved fit for all who run.

A new outsole design built off research and development from the New Balance Sports Research Lab increases forefoot stiffness and an enhanced rocker to improve transitions between strides – helping people run their way, comfortably.
