All New Infinion Midsole Foam

To Infinion and beyond

The New Balance 1080v15 features a brand-new supercritical Infinion midsole foam, leaving behind the EVA Fresh Foam X found in its predecessor. This new midsole is lighter and delivers superior cushioning, increased energy return, and longer-lasting durability, making those daily miles feel easier than ever and pushing your performance to the next level.

Breathable and Secure Feeling

Looks great, feels even better

Moulded contour details on the upper give the 1080v15 a striking, modern new look. The contoured mesh is light and breathable, contributing to both a sock like fit and a significant weight reduction to the previous generation. The 1080v15 will keep you cool, dry and comfy throughout your run.

Runner Friendly Details

Designed with miles in mind

A plush, cushioned tongue and heel tab provide long-lasting comfort for long runs and everyday use, whilst stretch laces allow for a customisable and secure fit for every step. Reflective detailing helps catch the light and the eye.
