New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 Women's Running Shoes

Strive to be the best in the 1080v12 which provides luxurious comfort for the long run. It features responsive underfoot Fresh Foam paired with a soft, selectively stretchy knit upper, which offers 360-degree comfort.

Hypoknit Upper

The Fresh Foam 1080v12 has an updated Hypoknit upper for enhanced comfort and breathability. Perforations in the fabric 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. The bootie construction removes the need for a tongue and swathes you in a sock-like fit; it conforms to the shape of your foot for a supportive and comfortable fit. The stretchy structure of the upper allows for easy on and off. As well as this, a no-sew material application reduces the weight plus a minimal risk of rubbing and blisters. An upgrade from their predecessors, the heel provides better comfort and structure, reducing rubbing on the Achilles. A lacing system locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides. Finally, the shoes feature reflective details to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions.

Fresh Foam X Midsole

The newest version of Fresh Foam has a more energetic rebound than its predecessor. Attenuating shock impact, Fresh Foam X protects against stress to joints 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 sockliner allows cool air to circulate whilst moisture vapour is moved away for a cool, damp-free environment where feet can thrive.

Blown Rubber Outsole

A blown rubber outsole completes the Fresh Foam 1080v12, supplying a sticky grip for multi-directional traction. The rubber can withstand damage from uneven terrain, giving you added confidence when running. In addition to this, the rubber will create a solid bond of friction with a variety of different 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 X 1080v12 provides you with a reliable and long-lasting race buddy.
