RevLite is an innovative foam compound that provides lightweight, responsive cushioning.
Upper
Engineered Mesh covers the majority of the upper, updated for softer, lighter coverage.
No-Sew upper materials are soft, supple and hold the foot securely on the platform.
Synthetic Overlays are strategically placed to wrap the foot for a secure fit.
Traditional Sockliner provides additional underfoot cushioning.
Outsole
Blown rubber outsole increases cushioning and responsiveness.
REVlite midsole and enhanced stability of a welded upper, responsive cushioning, or ultralight cushioning. Those things are all selling points on their own but the combination of those materials run deeper than the sum of their parts, and not just because they're the tried and tested features that hold up to their expectations. Early on the cushioning feels nice and plush and perhaps ideal for lounging around, comfortable for the back and forth walk from the couch to the fridge, and before we know it we're all comatose in potato chips which is of course where the resistance must be realized. Luckily the shoe engenders the motivation to run a 5k or a marathon, or make it through speed intervals. If we're succumbing to sloth-like slumber it may as well be earned. Six years ago, New Balance debuted the 1400 series as their answer to the minimalist question. On the sixth version, the exciting news is it has been definitively answered.
What's New
