If NB only made one running shoe, that shoe would be the 1080. What makes the New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam X 1080v12 unique isn’t just that it’s the best running shoe NB makes, it’s also the most versatile. The 1080 delivers top-of-the-line performance to every kind of runner, whether you’re training for world-class competition, or catching a rush hour train. The Fresh Foam X 1080v12 represents a consistent progression of the model’s signature qualities.
