The mens fresh foam cruz V2 nubuck from New Balance features a softer, lighter version of the award winning fresh foam technology. A flat knit upper with premium nubuck leather midfoot saddle helps this shoe intersect style with comfort. 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.
