What makes the 1080 unique isn’t just that it’s the best running shoe New Balance makes, it’s also the most versatile. The 1080 delivers top-of-the-line performance to every kind of runner, whether you’re training for world-class competition, or catching a rush hour train. The Fresh Foam X 1080v13 represents a consistent progression of the model’s signature qualities. The smooth transitions of the pinnacle underfoot cushioning experience are fine-tuned with updated midsole mapping, which applies more foam to wider areas of the midsole and increases flexibility at the narrower points. The ultra-modern outlook is also reflected in the 1080’s upper construction. The v13 offers a breathable yet supportive fit with an engineered mesh upper, for a more streamlined overall design. This version is sized down for kids' feet.
