New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v13 - Looks Boring but Better Than Ever

For the past few years, the 1080 has had a bit of an identity crisis. It used to be the max cushion sibling to the 880. But then, New Balance started making the More v4. So where does that leave the 1080? It’s time to lace up the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v13 and take it for a run.

I would love to see this fine tuning of the fresh foam X density and the less rubber approach on the outsole that contributes to less overall weight trickle down to the 880v14.

Will be interesting when the More v5 releases. Slowly making the 1080 feel like it's redundant in the lineup. Glad it's improved foam from last year. I love the look of my v12s, but they don't fit well and the foam just feels lifeless compared to my v4. Great review as always. I'll have to eventually pick up the nitro 2 with how much it gets recommended on your reviews haha. Cheers!

[@Kaisersozze]

The More v4 is too bulky even compared to the V3. If the 1080 is a slimmer version of the More then I would prefer it.

[@movdqa]

Thanks for your review as I'm looking at this vs the v12. My current daily trainer is the 880v12. 1080v12, More v3 are my recovery shoes and I pick depending on how my legs feel. I planned to use the 1080v12 as a daily trainer but it is softer than what I expected so I gave the 880 a try. The pricing of the 1080 line has pushed me somewhat to the 880 as I can usually get the 880 at half-price and the 880v12 is soft enough. Okay: this was a description of the shoe and competitors. I'll wait for your review for fit and feel but I guess that we'll have to wait a few weeks after launch for that.

[@ianlowe4126]

Thank you for another well researched and presented video Kofuzi. I have the Triumph 20 and Puma Deviate Nitro 2 and love both of them so can’t see the logic in adding this one to my rotation especially at that price point. Ian 🇬🇧

The 1080v12 has been one of my favorites for recovery runs. It wasn’t super plush, but I was okay with it for runs shorter than 15mls. Beyond that, I reached for the SuperComp Trainer. Looking forward to version 13 and pairing them up with the SuperComp Trainer 2’s during next year’s training block. Maybe I’ll get lucky and catch both on sale before my spring / summer training block. 😅

[@albustran4855]

After 50km, this is my most favorite daily trainer at the moment. Some how, this is more max cushioned than my Hoka shoes (Arahi 6, Rincon 3...) - even more than NB More V4. As a heavy runner, I prefer this kind of soft on my feet. PS: 1080v13 looks better in reality.

[@kofuzi]

thanks for the update. glad this is working for you!

[@carlosestrada8851]

Thanks for Your review and insight. The 1080 v12, I finished the sole. They were great and super confortable. I finished them since they were my favorite, but to be honest, mostly walking, 17min per mile rate. Only some sprints in between for 3 miles. But they were a great pair of running (walking) shoes. I´ll try this new version. How does it stand against the Asics gnimbus 25? or Clifton 9 (another incredibly confortable pair)

[@Wings_nut]

The 1080 v13 is my next NB after the More v4 is retired. I'm totally enjoying the Cyclone 2. I have the Pro 3 as well, & am waiting for the Pro 4 next spring. Thx, Mike.

[@youtaolu2025]

Finally find someone addressing the identity change of ff1080. Nice review!

[@mad8298]

I thought you might comment on the comparison between the NB More v.4 and this shoe. I have the More, but for me there is just too much medial support despite it selling itself as a neutral trainer. I will probably replace it with the 1080 v.13, which is an ounce lighter anyway, another issue for me with the More v.4. Finally, I stay completely within the NB line for my workout and race day shoes, SC Trainer's and SC Elite respectively. I tried the Endorphin Pro 3 and they are way too firm for my liking. Can't imagine running a marathon in them. But, then again, I have been running for 45 years and a little beat up. 😆

[@janetalvarado8006]

[@IMLCA]

I am a fan of their last stretchy fabric material, especially on the Nonlace 1080 v12. Have you heard if NB will ever create a laceless version for the 1080 V13? Kind of hard to match with their latest mesh materials.

[@kofuzi]

I haven’t heard anything, but I typically don’t get or seek out information on those kinds of variants

[@BamainMn]

Seems NB is pricing itself out, especially with those 90s colors. There’s no need to pay full price for daily trainers. Too many great choices.

Just a two-shoe rotation. Any input or advice here would be fantastic! Love your work

[@rivaso]

The 1080s are a very different shoe compared to then Endorphin Speed 3. I love both shoes but the 1080s don’t really work well for anything other than easy/recovery runs. The Speed 3 are way more versatile

[@unusallife6326]

The only thing that I actually put 500+ miles on was surprisingly the ON Cloudmonster. I need to replace them and I’ve seen a few deals start to pop up. I tore my Achilles and broke my other foot soon after I finally recovered from my Achilles injury which made me slow. Anyway, so it’s tough not to wear max shoes. 1080s were always very nice. I’m a big athlete so running is like side chick for skiing and rock climbing. Oh wait, I live in Florida now. Life is hell but its running season down here and I’m ready to pound soulless mile after soulless mile of white concrete in either New Balance More or stick to my ONs. These look like they would wear out quick on me.

Kofuzi, great video as always. I’m in the process of revamping my shoe rotation. My current daily trainer is the Ghosts 15 and Hyperion Max for longer and tempo runs. My plan is to get Endorphin Pro 3’s for marathon runs/racing, keep the hyperion max for some shorter workouts for speed, but I’m trying to decide for my easy, long run shoe that provides the cushion where my legs/feet will remain happy. It seems based on this video that either this 1080 version or Triumph 21 is my best options, any thoughts?

Would you recommend the 1080 V13 or to hold out for the More V5? Feels like there’s a redundancy in the NB line up here, but then again, I don’t know what changes to expect on the More V5. Also, how does the 1080 V13 stack up against the ASICS nimbus 25? Thanks

[@meangirlbecca]

I might be the only one who feels like this shoe is actually pretty versatile haha. I've recently finished two pairs of Nimbus 25 so maybe that's why I feel that the 1080 is actually lighter and fairly bouncy. So far got 50+ miles on it and and it's such a pleasant surprise. I'm noticing that I trend slightly faster in this shoe, like it prompts me to move in a tempo workout style for some reason. I also land exclusively on mid- to fore-foot with this shoe so my knees seem happier too. Huge fan so far!

[@Feanaro5503]

I agree. It does look boring. But I just picked up the FuelCell Rebel 3.

[@thegumbychronicles4892]

I've had several versions of the 1080 and it was fine for recovery runs or steady base runs. I currently use the ASICS Nimbus 25 for that and see no reason to change. I think the Hoka Clifton 9 is better than both of them because its more versatile and the cushion is just as good.

anything close? yes

The deviate nitro 2 @ dicks sporting goods has been 120 in certain colors for a while. It's one of those "see price in cart" deals.

$209.99 for these in Canada makes me cry lol :,) So expensive

Just wonder how topo compare with Speed 3 and Rebel v3

[@kofuzi]

I compare it against the Rebel 3 explicitly in my Topo Cyclone 2 review

I can get the SC Trainer v1 for 130-140€ so it doesn't make much sense to grab this, also the Nitro 2 is constantly on sale for 110-120€ so I bet this shoe will be around 130-140 within 3 months
