Giving a pair of these away on Twitter here! x.com/heskicks/status/1863683131850756393?s=46&t=CNEWi1zqyEf-u8LG3HIR2A

[@mahmuty]

I’m following you just because of the way you use the running shoes :) I am also not a runner but I like having comfortable shoes for walking and standing. Please, continue as is, your comments are valuable for such people like us.

[@ggbk8584]

v13 remains undefeated, they're that much more comfortable than v14s

[@johnholst]

My only bone with this shoe is that it's way too close to the More V5 now. Looks, weight, cushioning... But still, I bought a pair because I love this colorway! LOVE them!!

[@paulguiney4115]

You converted me to NB a couple of years ago with your review of the More v4. The all grey 1080v13 'sneakers' are the best lifestyle versions hopefully NB will bring out a 1080v14 edition. Love the More v5 as well. Keep up the great work with the channel Hes!

[@HENDO24]

I have the 14. I bought it 3 weeks ago for my new job (walking and standing for 10 hrs a day)and it’s the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned. When these wear out I might try the 13 and see what’s up

[@michaelorlain4262]

Nah sticks to 14. 13 is so unstable! Idk why but rebelv4 is so much better than 1080s.

[@HENDO24]

@ dang ok. Nvm then. I’ll stick with the 14. Thanks for looking out

[@a.bridge3846]

@@HENDO24try the v13s, way better honestly. I returned the v14s

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

@@a.bridge3846What do you like about the v13? Is it squishy but not bouncy?

[@shanehall-iu3wf]

Nah don’t listen to him I have the 13s and they’re AMAZING!!!

[@NonLegitNation2]

bought the same exact colorway you have after seeing your initial review. They have been great. I had to force myself to not wear them to work. I have so many comfy pairs of shoes and I end up wearing them to work a ruining them, so it was a struggle to actually keep these as everyday non-work shoes. I also just purchased a pair of NB Numeric Tiago's Lemos 1010s after seeing a review on them. Those arrive on Tuesday and I can't wait to try those out.

[@Kwamikaze88]

I would love a gore-tex version of this shoe! I know there are other models, maybe i'd go with 880s, but it still would be nice to have the option.

[@redstang70]

I think they dropped the ball on the V14s after trying them on in store, v13 is softer on foot.

[@A_A_Ron]

I agree

[@ashesofourpast]

I tried on both the v13 and v14 at a shoe store based off your recommendations. I walked out with the v13, it was just that much more comfortable IMO. Thanks for the recommendations! Crazy to say these are even more squishy than the On CloudSurfers I previously found to be the most comfortable shoes.

[@michaeltran2743]

I love the cloudsurfers but it stands no chance against the 1080

[@formulaic78]

I found both the 1080v13s and the cloudsurfers to be very comfortable, but both were too unstable for me as an overpronator. I didn't buy them just tried in store. The More V4 and V5 however are much more stable. However, I bought the V4 but found that the raised inner sidewall constricted my foot too much so went back to my Kayanos. When the V5s go on sale I'll probably buy those, and I'll try the V14s too as He's said they are slightly more stable.

[@ashesofourpast]

@@michaeltran2743 I was really surprised but you're totally right. I will say one thing though - even though the 1080s are more comfortable, the cloudsurfers feel more natural on my foot when I'm walking. I can definitely feel the stack with the 1080s, especially in the front. Cloudsurfers seem to have a more uniform/consistent feel front to back. Definitely not as squishy as the 1080s though lol.

[@ashesofourpast]

@@formulaic78 I agree the stability is not excellent on the 1080 v13s or the cloudsurfers.. More v4/5 and 1080v14 are definitely more stable. I just felt that stability came at the cost of comfort for those models. It would be nice to see a shoe that can do max cushion and stability in one.

[@A_A_Ron]

V13 are def more squishy in a good way

[@tonyphan1746]

Hes put me onto the 1080 line and i got the v10’s. love these shoes out of everything i use for walking/standing. I used to think Ultra Boost was the best but not after these. I’m waiting to wear these down before i get the new V14. keep up the vids Hes!

[@joeydeeds1]

Totally agree on the looks. I know the functionality is more important but we could have both! Nikes still look better to me

[@jkim412]

Need the 1080v13 cushion with the 1080v10 light/thin upper.

[@A_A_Ron]

10-11-12 all would be sick with the v13 fresh foam

[@ElvintheEnforcer]

A goretex waterproof version would be great for the 1080. It’s what is keeping me away from buying another pair.

[@IchihanKuroson]

I bought a pair of 1080v12s thanks to your videos! Maybe I should try out the v14s but I definitely agree with you need a goretex 1080! I think I prefer the shape and look of the v10, v11 and v12 over the v13 and v14 though....

[@kevinp4305]

I bought these and wore them to work for one day and my feet hurt! I returned those and bought the Pegasus 41. Way more comfortable imo.

[@rafaelislas6446]

I got the 1080 v10s and I love them. It's like walking on a plushy carpet all day.

[@samsung40_media87]

love that you still call _twitter_ *twitter* 🤣🤣

[@vudoodaddie]

These are my new favs replacing the Nike Invincibles. Thanks Hes.

[@huntdog79]

I love new balance! Balos is awesome! I bought another pair of v13s for 90$ while their on sale. I LOVE THE SQUISHY! You still gotta try the Mizuno Neo Vista, its a badass shoe!

[@AIPapersDecodedPodcast]

I want to see also the triple black, please do a video when you get it

[@YeahDardPolice]

Just copped triple black bro

[@xBYDEMONBEDRIVENx]

I think I tried the V12 and thought it was an unstable shoe. Not sure if it's too much cushion or what but it was not the best for maneuvering in at dirt tracks through bleachers etc

[@huntdog79]

I just got the asics novablast 5. Its pretty nice. Not as squishy as the 1080s but they have more bounce. Ff blast max is NICE. I wish they wouldve used it on the nimbus 27, but maybe the 27 will be loke the 25s. New balance is definitely my favorite brand! I wear running shoes casually and new balance has the best foam! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TRY THE NEO VISTA. YOULL LOVE IT!

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Hey, man! Please check out the Mount to Coast P1 (stability) which is marketed as their walking shoe, though the R1R has the more durable rubber sole. Also: Karhu Fusion 4.0 or whichever model has their new nitrogen midsole.

[@clondalkin-tokyo-houstonal5763]

The more pronounced rocker profile especially at the front is not attractive and bothers me, so I got another V13 (with a flatter front) at Joe's instead. Took a while to get used to the extreme softness of the midsole and lack of stability but it worked well. I am hoping for a more attractive 1080 w/ the feel of the V12 - stable, light & not tiring on the legs after lots of daily walking in Tokyo. Co-worker is recommending the 990V6 but I don't know if it is as comfy daily walker as a 1080.

[@Kmurray1029]

You did put me on to this shoe now I’m gonna get a pair for my dad for Christmas cuz he used to have the OG 1080s. In other news, NB needs to restock the triple blacks of the rebel v4s.

[@flimgenco]

My wish for these shoes, and other shoes of this type, is to take this tooling and give it a classic upper like a 574 or 990v3. adidas used to do this a lot during the boost heyday, but lately I don’t think anyone is doing that.

[@buGOYAmora]

What brand is your jacket?

[@jeremywheaton6244]

I am a 13 is wide I want a all white comfy new balance shoe is there options id use it for work

[@stkuj]

I just got the 1080 v13 for $80... I still run in the Nimbus 25.

[@careycrews1]

Where did you pay $80???

[@dpanman]

NO SHOE is too soft and squishy for me.. Hahahahaha... I'm only buying NB nowadays.. I'm a musician who has to stand for hours sometimes.. These shoes make life much easier..

[@rafaelislas6446]

Up for that pair of 1080s! Thanks!

[@AIPapersDecodedPodcast]

Goretex, cordura, I am in

[@williamortiz9402]

Triple black my go to work shoes

[@serrahwang]

Why do they keep lowering the height of the upper with each new version? The upper keeps getting more and more snug, making the top of the feet uncomfortable

[@dlabtek7house904]

1080 V14!👟💪

[@paulb2067]

Nah not feeling the v14s tried them on and bought the asics nimbus instead

[@saultbauls]

I've been a 993 head for a minute...until I threw on the v13. There's no on foot comfort like the 1080.

[@richuncleel5454]

I would try to run in and yes I am a 9.5. Great giveaway.

[@nektariospassas7628]

Bring back the 1080 v 12

[@markusgarcia4136]

What u think is the best NB just for walking if youre 85 plus kg!?? Edit: thankyou guys!

[@kyleeaton2717]

More v5 or More Trail V3

[@pimvanschendel]

I’m using the More v5 since a month for all my walks and it’s amazing. I’m 95kg’s and do 15km walks / hikes on them. I did some running in them but prefer them more for my walks and run in other brands.

[@MrQ8center]

I'm not purchasing any New Balance shoes until they finally cut to the chase and release the FuelCell Rebel Max.

[@thomasbraun6603]

Is this really a thing? If yes, where did you hear it?

[@michaeltran2743]

That would just be the SC trainer without a carbon fiber plate

[@MrQ8center]

@michaeltran2743 That's precisely what I want to see.

[@michaelorlain4262]

I will not buy 1080s again. Just bought 1080v13 a month ago and its soft but so UNSTABLE! After i used it my feet and ankle hurts! Its not comfortable at all. I recommend FuelCell Rebel v4. Much better shoes and fits perfectly.

[@jkim412]

Positive Comment!!!

[@kingjoekur]

I like my new balance shoes,but they wear out so fast

[@willmoore5862]

I still think the invincible run 3 is superior to the 1080’s. They’re my daily & my feet never got tired after a week at Disney World or a few days at Disneyland.
