The New Balance 1080v15 marks a bold new chapter for the brand’s all-time favorite workhorse. It’s everything you already love about this legendary trainer, but evolved to be lighter, bouncier, and more durable than ever before.

The game-changer here is the all-new Infinion midsole foam. It hits that sweet spot - offering signature softness but with a noticeably punchier energy return. You still get those signature smooth transitions and deep cushioning, but with a more responsive feel that makes every mile feel a little more effortless.

The New Balance 1080v15 is the daily workhorse for your rotation. It perfectly bridges the gap between a max-cushioned recovery shoe and a high-performance supertrainer, making it the one dependable pair you'll want to reach for every single morning.

New supercritical midsole foam
Soft, smooth with a noticeable energising ride compared to the previous version

Great so far

"Only worn these for a couple of sessions but great so far. Feel very springy and light underfoot (how good are new shoes!) and the fit is perfect. First run was 26km with wet feet from rain and mud and not a single blister. Very happy."

— Peta R. (5/5)

Like what I see

"True to size for me with more width than I expected looking at them. I've done 2 runs (50min and 2nd half of a 2hr 30min long run) in them and I like what I am experiencing so far. They feel different to anything I have run in before, as they are softer under foot. Which I need. Light and a bit bouncy."

— Kerry M. (4/5)

Massive improvements

"Have used the previous 1080v13 and 1080v14 as my daily trailers for the past two years. I was not a massive fan of the v14s and was hopeful that New Balance would get it right with this version - they have. I think the revised upper and new foam drastically improve the comfort and usability of the shoe. New Balance have really nailed this shoe as a great daily trainer."

Fits great! So comfy and

"Fits great! So comfy and feels so light. Feels like a running on a cloud! I love them"

Better but not perfect

"It still feels very protective and extremely comfortable. The shoe is definitely lighter, which is a major plus. However, I do find it slightly less stable compared to the previous version. The fit is very roomy as well, which is great when your feet start to swell during long runs."

— Matteo H. (4/5)

One of the best

"One of the best running shoes I've had. Great for tempo training, steady long distance and faster runs. Recommend"

— Stephanie F. (5/5)

In-store fitting

"Great service when exchanging another shoe for these at the Waverley store. Was recommended these for my wider foot and they fit like a glove."
