I got the triple black 1080 v13, absolutely loving it. I've been an Ultraboost user, then transition to 1080 v12, loved it, so I continued to v13

Is the v13 different from the v12? And how

[@JasperLTZ]

@@alijaber9855 it's softer and more comfortable, but it's subtle, so I would suggest only upgrade it if your v12 is wearing out, I bought v13 because the traction of my v12 is almost gone

@@JasperLTZ thank you for the valuable info , I'm thinking for waiting for the v14 to drop since its dropping very soon

I use the triple black 1080 for work where I walk for 8 hours and they have been great. My feet are not as tired at the end of the day compared to the 993 which was my favorite before the 1080.

[@liquiddw2]

I stand at least 8 hours a day and bought the 1080v13 based on your recommendation. These are the best, most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I hope new balance keeps this formula around for a while because it's a home run! I personally like the looks.

[@obk20]

I was an ultraboost user since 2017 and went to the new balance store last month tried the rebel 4 and 1080 v13. For me the v13 were better and had more cushion. Rebel 4 seemed more like a running shoe. I don’t know what magic foam new balance is using but they got me converted. I bought the triple black 1080 v13 they look awesome! Adidas is so behind the cushion game now they really need to step it up!

I have both and they are 2 worlds apart in so many ways that it is amusing to even compare in the first place. Just to state one, the v13 is just super comfortable shoe that can last a very long time.

[@NuTuDiabelka666]

I tested rebel v4 and v13. I've done a few workouts in v13, I'm in love with them. The V13 is a complete shoe.

[@davidbraswell1481]

Indeed!!

[@danalopresto3139]

I really enjoy your content. I’ve been a 1080 fan for the last 4 years due to multiple back and hip surgeries due to the plush ride. After watching your video on the NB Rebel v4, I had to try them, in a size 11 the Rebel was insanely lightweight and the upper was excellent… but for someone who is 220lbs with back/hip issues, I experienced some pain/discomfort after 2 miles. For a lighter runner the Rebel may be a good option. My go to NB shoe is the More V4, and I’m really looking forward to the release of the More V5. Thanks for your great content!

[@marchood04]

Really like the value of the Rebel v4. Stopped by my local NB store yesterday to try on. The upper is incredibly breathable and the FuelCell has the bounce I love. Keep posting that heat Hes!

[@mrnailman1]

I got the 1080s and wow it feels like I'm walking on marshmallows! It also makes me taller due to the stack of foam

[@mrnailman1]

Update: they get better with time and they actually make me enjoy walking

[@christopherfaustin5800]

Went to the store a few months ago to compare these and ended up buying both. Both are great.

[@Jarrod723]

The lowkey shade thrown at Chipotle was brilliant 😂

[@jessieaguilar795]

I have both...1080 are definitely more comfortable and softer. But more for walking and easy pace. I wish they had the breathabilty of the rebel v4. Rebel v4 is lighter and good for running.

[@davesolitario172]

Fresh Foam 1080 v14 runs Narrow and the Rebel v4 is wide foot friendly. Even the reviews say this. I have both so I am sharing this with you guys. @Hes Kicks

[@tomasrangel6]

I work at a car plant I’m on my feet 8 hrs a day. The new balance rebel v4 wide with a heel insert is a game changer. I have flat feet. Only pair of shoes I feel are worth retail and will buy without thinking twice.

[@xf5236]

What does a heel insert do

[@tomasrangel6]

@@xf5236 it’s extra cushioning for your heel. I stand a lot and weigh 280 so it helps. Also I’ve moved on to the latest 1080. There v4 has bottomed out

[@urgirlang1]

So I found a coupon code for the 1080v13 and now I can compare the 2. I kept hearing the Rebel V4 was super comfortable. But just trying them on, the 1080v13 seems softer.

[@colelucas5936]

I have both and I agree. the rebel v4 is better for running and the 1080 is more comfortable casually

[@1asian1phone]

I have both also and I love them both! I agree it's hard to choose if you could only choose 1! I do wish there was a tad bit more cushion on the upper in the rebels like the back area where your Achilles sits and the tongue was a bit softer material. I'm a nurse and I'm in my feet all day and I love them both. I'm going to SeaWorld in a few days and I think I'm gonna choose the rebels for the trip. If you had to choose one for a theme park day which one would you choose?

[@heskicks]

Thx for the feedback! For themepark man both are great, if it's really hot outside the rebel but if not, I think the 1080 V 13 is better all around

[@donziceman]

Cant go wrong with both but i tried both of them im going with the freshfoam 1080.

[@tadeuszlufik]

Have both. For running, walking in dry conditions or for style the RebelV4 is preferable. But Ive walked around in wet conditions in the V4 and almost slipped/had my a$$ handed to me a few times walkin around Seattle. By comparison, the 1080 (and the v14 especially now) is hands down the better more versatile overall show. More structure, support and grip. V4s make you feel nimble with comfort, the 1080s feel plush and supportive without feeling heavy or clunky.

[@tbrrrn]

I have the 1080 V 13 and I love the cushion of the shoe. It’s honestly better than any other new balance and I’ve had all of them. Only dislike is that I tend to super Nate slightly and because the cushion is so soft and there’s not a lot of flare on the out I tend to feel like I’m going to roll outward.

[@dannygalvez5312]

I work in emergency room 12 our shifts I have the fresh foam 1080. I love these shoes. Best I have ever used.

[@arranroyal3911]

I bought the Rebel V4s and had to send them back. I have flat feet and the arch support in them is very prominent and it hurt my feet a lot whilst wearing them and was uncomfortable. Something to keep in mind if you also have flat feet.

[@ozhunter6708]

My 1080v13 fit too tight at 10.5. Rebel v4 fit perfect 10.5

[@LancePeterman]

I have about 100 miles in the Rebel v4, just finished a half marathon in them. This shoe can do it all. Daily trainer, interval, threshold, and obviously raceday if you're not a fan of carbon plates. I considered the 1080, but the weight was an issue for me. I strongly considered the 1080 for an athleisure shoe for long days of walking and standing (I work elections a few times a year), but I went with the Ghost Max for stability reasons. The softer FFX just didn't feel like it would keep me stable the whole day (I'm a big dude). No major signs of outsole wear yet on the Rebel, but I'm guessing the outsole will wear out before the midsole (probably 250 miles). At $140, that's a pretty good deal.

[@Traumtorschuetze]

I was looking for a summer shoe and tried the 1080 v13 first. They were not breathable enough for me. The Rebels are 10 times better for that and I ended up buying them in two different colours and have been extremly satisfied with them at the first warm days of the year. They are both very good though.

[@selocaglar7066]

Is V13 suitable for summer use? I am on my feet all day. Will it cause discomfort?

[@Traumtorschuetze]

@@selocaglar7066For my feet they would be too hot when the temperature rises. Rebels are way better for that purpose.

I tried today Rebel V4 because their was so much positive reviews about V4😍, but then at the store I tried 1040 🤯 and I immediately knew that it's 1040 and I threw the V4 immediately 😂from my feet's, the cushion in 1040 is the BEST 🤩in the Market, they even are better then Hoka and Ascis

[@crazyflip1176]

Thanks for the informative review. I usually wear Nike shoes with the invincible 3 as my daily shoes. It came time to get new shoes and I just recently just picked up the 1080 v13. Let see how these hold up.

[@sexyyfred]

Just tried on the rebels and they’re good but the 1080v13s are waaay better IMO as far as comfort. Big disappointment because I was expecting it to blow my mind since you and Seth Fowler ranked it high for comfort. Good for the price point tho. Gonna wait for the later releases

[@heskicks]

Glad I could help!

[@fl7015]

I bought the rebel v4 and didn't like the tongue so much I had to return it. The length was terrible for me. Wore it tight and I'll feel it poking. Wore it loose and felt it slipping down.

[@ChrisSullivanMCC-SCC]

The 1080 fresh foam has a strange angle around the ankle in the upper. It rubs my lateral and medial malleolus and that’s never happened in new balance or Nike or saucony or anything. Comfy otherwise. You can see the front upper ankle is longer and straight. Anyway, weird design. Should be rounded on both sides of ankle.

[@selocaglar7066]

Is V13 suitable for summer use? I am on my feet all day. Will it cause discomfort?

[@Markus56165]

Hey guys, I'm pretty crazy with shoes. I have over 40 pairs. 25+ Yeezys. I cant wear Jordans or anything hard. I work 50+ hrs a week in hospitals. I have a few pairs of Nike's, a few pairs of Adidas, and 2 pairs of NB Hierrov7 and a pair of 880v12 and 2 pairs of 1080v12, Standard and Permafrost. I got the 1080v13 in triple black. They're amazing! I've had them for 3 weeks and literally only worn other shoes a couple times. The v13 is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I want the Rebel v4 but I don't love the thin tongue or the heel collar versus the v13. I'll probably still get a pair later in the year, especially if they drop a Permafrost V4.

hi just saw your reviews and wonder if you have any recommendation for Seniors with bunions, knee problem, for walking & traveling. thank you

[@urgirlang1]

So Invincible Runs are my go to all day walking shoe. I bought the NB SC Trainer 1 & 2 because if your recommendation. I wear the 1 to work but haven’t had a chance to walk or stand all day in them. So I ordered the Rebel V4 because of your review and someone else’s review claiming that they were more comfortable than the Invincible Runs. But now I’m seeing so many people loving the 1080v13. So in your opinion which is better than the Invincible Run? And which is more comfortable between these 2 and the SC Trainers?

[@yummdiddy]

I personally enjoy both equally. My only issue with the rebel is the tongue. I wish it was slightly longer. When I put them on, it’s a bit annoying, but that is extremely minor.

[@heskicks]

I totally agree with that! Minor but not as easy to get on

[@Plant_Traced]

I’ve tried on both at the same time and the 1080 v13 was more comfy and cushioned…imho!

[@mikemahar5353]

I’ve got the 1080v12 and 1080v13 and the fuel cell super comfy trainer v2 and I actually think the super comfy v2 is the best of the 3. I’m torn between the v12’s and v13’s. I feel the v12’s were a more versatile shoe. More of an every day shoe for me where as I feel the v13’s got super soft and more strictly a long run, recovery shoe. I think I preferred the v12’s, new balance are the only shoes I’ll wear. I don’t understand the ASICS fans, I have a pair of novablast3’s and find them to be terrible. I also have a pair of gel nimbus. I ditched them as my long run/recovery shoe. I’m trying to get my hands on a size 9 new balance super comfy elite v4, but they are sold out everywhere atm.

[@jeffhicks8428]

I got my girl the 1080v13, then I tried it myself. Both of us noticed the same thing. The midsole in the heel is so overly compliant that the shoe seems to fall into negative drop when you're just standing around casually. This stresses my knee and feels like it's at risk of hypextending Otherwise, amazing shoe. But that's a no go from me dawg. Can't do that. Got the v12 which is more stable and stuff, still very comfy, I like the knit more. but the upper isn't as plush as the 13 and also it's not quite as soft or squishy. Still a very comfy and soft shoe in it's own right and much sleeker. Also got the more v4 which is incredibly cushy and stable asf. once again the upper isn't as plush. Can I just get a slightly sleeker morev4 with a silky plush pillowy upper please? If they fix the heel on the v14, I will get that for sure.

[@TwannDonn]

Dope vid bro. I think want to go with the rebel v4. I already have a pair of 880v13s and they're dope.

How would you compare them as far as potential foot or leg fatigue? Are they too soft in that regard. You mentioned you logged a lot of steps in these. Did you encounter any of that with either?

I guess you could say they were good out the gate for around 250 300 miles and my 1080's have 400+ and are still very comfy actually I am bout to order another pair!

I love my rebel v3 so I decided to pick up a white/linen mens wide sz11 from ebay (shipped form Taiwan to US), from the looks I thought it will be more softer the V3, for me its just a bit softer/bounce. I tried the 1080v13 and Nike invincible 3 at dicks yesterday. the V13 is something else! it removed my doubts with fresh foam when I tried before (More v4). now Im in the hunt for for that navy/white V13!
