New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 Permafrost Running Shoes

A new Permafrost edition outfits the Fresh Foam X 1080v12 with features designed to face the elements - a Hydrohesion rubber outsole made for traction in wet conditions, a DWR water-repellent treated upper, and toggle laces for easy adjustment and lock-in while wearing gloves. These additions bring seasonally-specific performance to the pinnacle underfoot cushioning experience offered by the silhouette's updated midsole mapping, which applies more foam to wider areas of the midsole and increases flexibility at the narrower points.

Closed Textile Upper

The New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 Permafrost Running Shoes feature a closed textile upper with synthetic and mesh materials for enhanced comfort and breathability. Perforations in the mesh encourage cool air to circulate, removing uncomfortable heat build-up and allowing moisture vapour to escape for damp-free comfort and a healthy environment for feet to thrive in. As well as this, no-sew overlays give a sleek fit and feel that looks good and won't hold you back from hitting your targets whilst reflective details designed to catch the light keep you visible on those low-light runs. This version of the 1080v12 has been treated with a DWR water-repellent finish, which works to keep wet weather from entering the upper, therefore, keeping your feet feeling dry and comfortable as you go the distance. Completing the upper are toggle/no-tie speed laces that lock down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides whilst remaining easy to use when wearing gloves.

Fresh Foam X Midsole

The newest version of Fresh Foam is a more energetic rebound than its predecessor. It features great underfoot cushioning and flex zones that are informed by pressure mapping data. Attenuating shock impact, the Fresh Foam X protects against joint stress when striking down on hard, unforgiving surfaces without compromising a responsive, natural ride. Delivering plush underfoot cushioning, the Fresh Foam is a fusion of plush foam and advanced design, creating an ultra-cushioned and geometrically sound ride. Fresh Foam encourages a smooth heel-to-toe transition and reduces the use of superfluous muscle power; this diminishes fatigue, keeping you motivated for longer. Completing the midsole is an Ortholite sockliner that offers exceptional breathability and moisture management properties; the sock liner allows cool air to circulate whilst moisture vapour is moved away for a cool, damp-free environment that feet can thrive in.

Hydrohesion Rubber Outsole

A rubber outsole completes the Fresh Foam 1080v12, supplying a sticky grip for multi-directional traction. The rubber can withstand damage from uneven terrain to give you added confidence when out running. In addition, the rubber can create a solid bond of friction with various surfaces, crucial for control as you race around the roads. This will reduce the risk of injury from slipping or rolling your ankle, as you will be held in a firm and upright position. As well as this, multi-directional grooves also feature on the outsole to further increase traction, as they are strategically placed to assist with acceleration, braking and changes of direction. The outsole of the Fresh Foam 1080v12 Running Shoes provides a reliable and long-lasting race buddy. Their goal is to help you achieve yours. Hydrohesion rubber helps you to maintain grip even during wet weather.
