An impossibly plush elemental running shoe.

Gentlemen, start your engines, but be sure to bring your inner geek along for the ride. The New Balance Men's NBX 980 Fresh Foam Running Shoe redefines elemental running, but with a data-driven approach to the Fresh Foam midsole that ensures soft stays safe and supportive. The 4mm drop keeps this shoe in minimal mode while the blown rubber outsole won't turn your foot into a lead weight.
Made from no-sew mesh, the upper lets your foot move naturally without fear of stitch-started blisters. Overlays are welded on and offer subtle support. As far as the Fresh Foam midsole goes, after collecting years worth of data, the designers used shoe-savvy software to determine the location and magnitude of ground reaction forces. Armed with that information, the shoe engineers completely reworked the concept of a running shoe. Larger hexagonal structures offer impact resistance in areas experiencing large forces. Areas that demand additional support, namely the medial edge of the heel, take on a concave shape so more material exists to support your gait. Where compression is key—the outer edge of the heel and inner edge of the forefoot—a convex design helps the shoe compress without sacrificing cushioning.
The 4mm heel-forefoot drop makes the 980 more friendly towards midfoot strikers, but the sinfully soft cushioning won't leave heel strikers by the side of the road. The blown rubber sole ensures a clear line of communication between your foot and the ground without sacrificing sole protection from the road.
