Ankle Roller

"I've been through each version of the 1080 series since the v9's, I was disappointed to find a lack of width on the outer sides of the front ball of the foot compared to previous versions. I need to be very weary not to roll my ankles during agile movements and cornering in these shoes. This was never an issue in previous versions, so much so that I took them with me on walks, hikes and going to the gym. I would not be comfortable doing this in the v13s, only running in a forwards motion. This isn't the purpose I intended to purchase the shoes for, I have Nike Vaporfly's for that."

They’ve perfected the 1080 in v14
