The New Stability 1080v14 is a superb cushioned every day coach that may go for miles. It’s a stable long term shoe choose for runners who take pleasure in a extra max cushion really feel.

I’ve mentioned earlier than I wasn’t positive after they began including to cushion to a shoe that used to really feel extra just like the Nike Pegagus. So it’s modified classes for me, however New Stability Recent Foam is a winner in my e-book and I don’t assume it’s simply the cool fall mornings inflicting me to say that.

New Stability 1080v14 Assessment

I loved a full 12 months of miles within the 1080v13, however one thing in regards to the 1080v14 felt completely different in a great way on the very first run. Whereas there’s a bunch of technical jargon about geometry modifications, what I felt was just a bit much less sinking in to the froth.

That may very well be from the slight roll added or slight modifications to the froth, but it surely works.Cushion and I are associates. My legs adore it on lengthy runs and I’ve not been afraid to check out an enormous number of the brand new max cushioned set, however they aren’t all winners. This one felt nice from step one and I instantly took it out for 10 miles with no concern.

The bottom of the shoe is simply barely extra flared or wider now, which additionally provides some stability. That’s a key function that was missing when many began shoving extra foam into the midsole.

One notable change from final 12 months, the shoe gained up 1 oz of weight. Which appears just a little odd when the stack top remained the identical, however appears to be associated to including some extra grip alongside the outsole which does make the shoe higher in moist circumstances.

That being mentioned, are you more likely to discover the load in a straightforward run shoe? In all probability not.

100% this is occurring our record of greatest long term footwear!

I imply it says lots when their advertising states if they might solely make one shoe, this could be it!

When you’ve by no means run on this shoe earlier than then let’s again monitor a second. That is going to fall underneath the class of a max cushioned coach that may take you for a lot of miles. It’s a dependable shoe that’s sturdy (as famous we’ve been utilizing the final variations in our rotations for years).

Whether or not you want a shoe for lengthy walks, lengthy runs or days in your ft we like this one. It hits that candy spot with cushion of feeling actually nice with out being overly gentle.

Relating to aesthetics, I’m a fan of the extra subdued colours that got here out with this mannequin. Nevertheless, in a latest Instagram ballot over 60% of you mentioned you like the intense, daring colours!! So possibly the intense blue can be extra to your fancy.

Both approach, I do just like the look of the shoe. A few of these max cushioned choices (cough Ghost Max 2) look very geriatric.

NB 1080v14 Match

Generally, I discover that New Stability doesn’t run slender or broad, however very regular. I typically advocate them as a result of they do supply broad variations whenever you want extra. I take advantage of the identical measurement in NB as different manufacturers.

Whereas it’s not a large toebox, it’s cozy with loads of room.

The padded heel collar felt nice and the laces have been simply lengthy sufficient for me to do a heel lock, so no points with something sliding round. It does have a full padded tongue, so not essentially the most breathable of footwear in comparison with most of the light-weight racers, however no points. It’s breathable precisely as you’d count on a every day coach to be.

Comparable Footwear to the New Stability 1080

As famous, approach again I’d have in contrast this to a Pegasus, however now right here’s the road up:

1080V14 vs 1080V13

I had some fast preliminary impressions about what was completely different and felt validated to see considered one of my working coaches, Alison Staples, publish her related ideas as nicely.

• V14 is heavier
• V13 feels even softer
• V14 much less more likely to sink and makes you roll ahead higher
• V14 feels extra secure
• Similar heel to toe drop in each
• Similar stack top in each

Since I’ve talked about a fantastic deal that she shoe has modified, a have a look at what I imply. Right here’s the New Stability 1080V10 – as you’ll be able to see the stack top was much less, complete cushion much less and completely different heel collar. It didn’t have any padding across the heel, the tongue and the cushion was extra gentle.

I used to really feel like this was a shoe I might embody in my light-weight pace exercise trainers.

And whereas it completely has managed to stay mild, it doesn’t really feel like a quick shoe anymore. If you start so as to add much more cushion, you lose a few of that fast rebound off the bottom. So now I’d undoubtedly file this underneath a long term every day coach.

I actually like seeing how this shoe has modified as a result of it’s fairly reflective of what we’re seeing throughout the trade proper  now. So I assume that in one other few years, we’ll begin shifting again the opposite approach.

What’s Recent Foam X?

New Stability Recent Foam X is an revolutionary cushioning know-how developed by New Stability. It’s designed to supply a responsive, snug, and light-weight working expertise. Recent Foam X is an evolution of the unique Recent Foam, providing enhanced efficiency and improved power return.

And let me simply inform you I’m a BIG fan of Recent Foam X.  For me, it actually does have that good mix of cushion with out sinking in to the shoe.

Sneaker Freaker does a fantastic job breaking down what it signifies that each model has their very own midsole:

“In its most elementary kind, EVA is made by combining two completely different plastics. It’s then expanded – that’s, made right into a foam – to provide the squishy stuff that makes soles. Every step of the method will be tweaked to present the ultimate product barely completely different properties.

For instance, one producer may use completely different ratios of the 2 main substances whereas one other may combine in some components. Then there are every kind of how to mildew the plastic and increase it into foam, every of which produces a barely completely different product.”

I can completely confirm that they’ve continued to drop weight over time. I liked the 980 after I first tried it, however that is lighter although possibly much less springy.

All proper there you have got it! Our first impressions of the New Stability 1080v14 evaluation. Hopefully that is serving to you to make some selections, however as at all times be at liberty to ask questions!!
