Description

The New Balance 1080v15 is a big overhaul on the popular daily shoe. The most notable change being the removal of the longstanding Fresh Foam X foam and the introduction of Infinion, a new supercritical foam designed to provide better energy return and increased cushioning. The Saucony Ride 18 is a daily shoe that receives a few updates to the popular Ride 17. The biggest of those is the addition of PWRRUN+ in the midsole, a foam designed to make the shoe lighter, softer and more responsive than its predecessor, as well as an improved level of energy return. The Puma Velocity Nitro 4 is the latest version of one of the most talked about shoes on the channel, with previous models delivering an impressive balance of durability, comfort and versatility at a price that far undercuts a lot of the competition.
