The New Balance 880v15 launched last week and this is a major upgrade on the previous version!

The biggest change from the 880v14 is a significantly increased stack height, going from 29mm to 40.5mm in the rear foot, resulting in a much thicker and more cushioned midsole. A second change is the heel-to-toe drop lowering from 8mm to 6mm to encourage more a midfoot strike. These changes result in a more “maximal” feel compared to the previous model which offered a more traditional, slightly firmer feel.

Overall, the New Balance 880v15 is still built to handle your daily running routine. This go-to trainer offers superior underfoot cushioning and a structured, supportive upper to provide everyday reliability.

The Fresh Foam X is a one-piece midsole compound that has excellent energy rebound to propel you forward but is also soft enough to provide protection and deliver a plush underfoot feel step after step. An engineered mesh upper supplies constant airflow around your feet to keep them feeling cool and fresh. And the NDurance rubber outsole offers durability in high-wearing areas to ensure you have grip and traction throughout your run.
