New Balance Debuts 1080v15 for Ultra Comfortable Everyday Running

New Balance’s next stride in running technology is here. Stepping into a new foam technology and stacking it high, the all-new New Balance 1080v15 is the Boston brand’s next evolution of performance runner designed to give casual and serious runners alike lasting comfort and faster feet.

The New Balance 1080v15 evolves the v14 with a brand new Infinion Foam construction on the midsole. The debut lime green colorway features a two-tone midsole stack with white on the bottom and metallic grey above it. The breathable mesh upper is designed with molded contours to fit the foot. The first colorway features monochrome lime green mesh with hits of blue on the “N” side logo and tongue accents. A lime green outsole brings the colorway together underfoot.

When it comes to performance sneakers, the competition in the running industry is tougher than nearly any sport, with growing midsole stacks, innovative carbon shanks, impossibly thin meshes, and more driving brands to push the limits at every level. New Balance’s 1080 series has been a strong competitor when it comes to everyday runners, and with the v15, New Balance is confident they’ve found another hit, promising “all-day performance and premium comfort, from your first run to your 100th run.”

The New Balance 1080v15 will be released January 15, 2026 through New Balance and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $170. For all the latest New Balance news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
