Technologies
-
Ndurance
This piece of carbon-reinforced rubber is placed at the heel to prevent premature wear of the outsole, where the impact during the landing phase is the greatest.
Even if the exterior of the shoe appears to be in good condition, be aware that the cushioning and support materials begin to degrade after 800km. Beyond 1200km of use, we recommend replacing your pair of shoes.

-
Fresh Foam X
The latest version of New Balance's renowned foam, the Fresh Foam X, offers high-performance cushioning that provides explosive energy return and a comfortable, natural bounce with every stride.
-
Green Leaf
The Green Leaf standard unique to New Balance highlights the presence of environmentally friendly materials. For textiles that meet this standard, 50% or more of the materials used must be part of an eco-responsible approach. This means they can come from recycled fibers or, as with cotton, from sustainable farming methods (such as the Better Cotton Initiative, for example).
