New Balance’s 1080 silhouette is arguably its most popular running sneaker. Designed to be worn training, competing and even for everyday wear, the versatile 1080 allows runners to cover more miles, more often and, most importantly, more comfortably.

Building on the ever-present 1080v11 — which was recently the focus of a collaboration with Aries — New Balance presents the Fresh Foam X 1080v12, in a striking “Vibrant Orange/Spring Tide/Vibrant Apricot” colorway.

A fine tuning of cushioning, weight and flexibility, the 1080v12 features Fresh Foam X underfoot, which is paired with a lightweight, engineered knit upper. Built with a focus on breathability and stretch, the sneaker provides strategic areas of support on the forefoot, which gently hugs the top of the foot for added comfort.

The Fresh Foam X 1080v12 “Vibrant Orange/Spring Tide/Vibrant Apricot” is available to buy from the New Balance webstore now, retailing at £145 (approx. $190 USD).

In other footwear news, LMC and Merrell has teased an upcoming Hydro Moc and Hydro Slide collaboration.
