Bought the 1080v13’s recently and glad I did because the weight gain on the v14 is a dealbreaker for me…one reason why I sold my Nimbus 26.

[@ilushk]

Imo v13 looks way better especially in certain colorways.

[@Fullblown671]

@@ilushk Agreed! 🤙🏽

[@DevinWatson-k3v]

Takes confidence to wear that Baldur's Gate 2 "Human Flesh +5" chest armour that Thomas has on, plus a lengthy tedious quest to boot. Good work man!

[@Frichilsasta08]

We'll soon be paying $180 bucks for daily trainers if we keep normalizing this practice lmao I guarantee you companies would still make an amazing profit if not more of a profit if they charged $130-140 for these. Greedy greedy greedy...and that goes for every company

[@theghostofpcs2391]

The 1080 has been overpriced for several versions already. I got my v12 at a nice discount, but it really wouldn't have been worth the full 180 euro, because it's not that good as a running shoe. I still use both the regular and permafrost ones for walking around, but retired them from running a long time ago.

[@kingmidas430]

If you feel that way, the option is still available to you. Just buy the version from a few years back. Truth be told, you’ll probably get an even bigger discount than if they hadn’t made newer versions since the older was released.

[@JosephThompson-t8i]

Enjoyed the review, although not a big fan of NB shoes. Look forward to the running review scale you are developing. That would be really helpful in determining a shoe's potential before making the purchase. Thanks.

[@LyJoyRuns]

All things being equal no one wants a heavier shoe.

[@mad8298]

I have seen some other reviews that said this version was firmer and stiffer than the v.13. If that is the case then, along with the extra weight (which does make a difference to me), it would have to be a pass and I'll just buy another v.13 or two to get me by for a while. Thx for the review as it is always good to get different perspectives.

[@steverogers6867]

Both the 1080v13 & 880v14 felt really tight in the toe box. I also had to go up a half size when I tried each on. I was hoping they would make the upper more relaxed on this version.

[@WatchThatKilcam15]

if you want similar feel to the 1080 but a more breathable upper try the balos

[@chip5595]

Notification fam where we at??? 😄

[@OmarHelmy]

Like Thomas, the 1080 v13 did not work at all with my narrow foot. I still use it for short easy runs, but anything longer than 10k and it starts rubbing

[@UltraAverage]

Thomas, did you find that shirt in Robbe's bush next to the dog jaw bone?

[@Manuel_712]

Good morning. Interesting description. At Spain= €190. I prefer the nb 880. Like to Meaghan and Thomas. Happy saturday.

[@itsnotme5546]

why the change of the scoring system

[@dlabtek7house904]

Still breaking in my V13….😂

[@drbikeshorts]

I don’t know, really sounds like you guys are trying to be positive about a shoe you think is average.

[@Feanaro5503]

I like the lights.

[@antonioromulodelcarmen283]

What’s up with Blue shoes??? (Hoka Rincon, PUma MagMax, this 1080v14)👀

[@samesparza2149]

Idk about the 1080 series but I hate how much wider the toe box is on the new rebel. I wanted to like the shoe but it was too wide in my normal size, and too short(and still too wide) in a half size down. People swear their feet EXPLODE into balloons when they run long distances but I loved the feeling and fit of the rebel 3. I am so annoyed by all shoes making these hobbit foot shaped shoes 🫤

[@didoma73]

Is Thomas from or with Believe In The Run? Is he with it if he's already from it?

[@danielamos672]

Keep it simple. Stay with the lights please.

[@StefanTerndrup]

Been running in the 1080 since V9, but dropped last years model and still not sold on the updated foam from v13 and v14, the foam just seems to dead to me for an overall daily trainer where you can easily pick up the pace. Sorry but Asics has beat you New Balance.

[@venkatshashank]

1080 v14 or rebel v4 ?

[@Manuel_712]

Hi, if you are a light runner, nb rebel v4. Cheers.

[@justjared82]

Are those runners on Thomas’s shirt being chased by a helicopter?

[@tylerodell3368]

Totally unrelated comment, but how wild is the falloff of the Adidas Prime X Strung? The hype coudn't have been bigger for version 2, and I don't hear ANYONE talking about that shoe anymore.

[@theghostofpcs2391]

Because most people feel like they ruined the shoe. I however, have never used the first 2 versions, so the PX2S is my favourite shoe at the moment. I got it at half price (300 euro is too much for me), and will certainly get another pair when the price is right.

[@nathaniel23946]

Love the shirt Thomas!!! ❤

[@4035darryl]

Keep doing videos with Meg, she’s a better looking than Robbie!lol Love your channel keep doing what you’re doing!

[@SteevWho]

Here you see two people trying to stay in the good graces of a vendor. Shoe got heavier with almost no update except they aren't as soft as last year. With a year of so many shoes in this same price point being more exciting, this is BORING.

[@leeheirbaut8154]

U have no clue do u.. all the previous iterations bottomed out. the V14 has the same compound as the More V5 which is denser. Softer doesn't mean better. Thank me later

[@SteevWho]

@@leeheirbaut8154 Bottoming Out has to do with your weight, not everyone bottomed out in the 13. Also the More V5 has been widely panned in comparison to the V4. It's all personal preference. I have seen at least six reviews on these v14's and everyone keeps over emphasizing that these are Firmer, so more back to foam that is similar to the previous versions, that everyone complained about needed to change, and the weight gain in these would go hand in hand. You mentioned ALL the other versions Bottomed Out? That's you, not the shoe. I have had every version of the 1080 for the past six years, and they have never Bottomed Out for me.

[@Frichilsasta08]

BITR does not review shoes...they advertise. Plain and simple.

[@SteevWho]

@@vikscoggins I guess that's why everyone is different. I weigh the same, and I don't have those issues.
