For Shoe Geeks, the New Balance 1080 Fresh Foam, great ride, great cushioning

This is our program, #forshoegeeks. We are reviewing the New Balance 1080 Fresh Foam. #runblogrun‘s Larry Eder speaks about using NB last summer for six weeks and about the ride of #FreshFoam, from #NewBalance, the history of the brand, and the commitment of NB to grassroots running.

New Balance has been around since 1912. Jim Davis and his team purchased the brand in 1970. I recall seeing my first NB training shoe in 1974 at Crystal Springs on one of my Bellarmine teammates.

We will be reviewing several more New Balance shoes in the next few months.
