360 degrees of premium performance technologies and incredible comfort bring this new null to life in the fresh foam 1080 V8. A redesigned, substantial and smooth midsole foam, with reconfigured flex grooves improves upon the reliable cushioning celebrated in previous models. An engineered mesh upper with a soft yet secure midfoot saddle enables the foot to flex freely yet maintain a structured, protected fit. New Balance, is dedicated to helping athletes achieve their goals. It's been their mission for more than a century. It's why they don't spend money on celebrity endorsements. They spend it on research and development. It's why they don't design products to fit an image. They design them to fit. New Balance is driven to make the finest shoes for the same reason athletes lace them up: to achieve the very best.
