Men's Running Shoes Fresh Foam X/Neutral Cushioning/APMA Colors: Black/Black Metallic/Phantom If New Balance only made one running shoe, it would be the Fresh Foam X 1080. The unique combination of reliable comfort and high performance of the New Balance 1080v14 offers versatility that spans everyday to race day. The Fresh Foam X midsole cushioning is built for smooth transitions from landing to push-off, while a soft, premium upper provides support and breathability. Updates to the 1080v14 include a new, triple jacquard mesh upper with increased breathability in key areas, an updated outsole for a propulsive feeling, and additional rubber in high wear areas for added durability.
