[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They feel very comfortable and cushioned. I loved the evolution and change!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved them. They felt much lighter than the previous 1080 model.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just when I thought I couldn't love the 1080s any more than I already did, the v15s stepped it up again. Loooove the new Infinion sole, you can really feel the bounce, support and stability. The shoe feels slightly narrower than the v14s - and as a result, more supportive around the ankle particularly. I could immediately feel that the new midsole has been developed for higher durability/longevity. A fantastic update to my favourite everyday trainer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 1080v15 has honestly become one of my go-to shoes for daily miles. The cushioning feels soft but not mushy, like it protects my legs without slowing me down. I especially love how smooth the ride feels on longer runs, and the upper is breathable and super comfortable from the first wear. It’s one of those shoes I don’t have to “break in.” I just lace up and go, and my legs thank me later.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually run in more structured shoes (the 869s), so I was not expecting to love the 1080 v15 this much. The bounce is immediate. Soft without feeling mushy, and responsive without feeling unstable. From the first few steps, the ride felt smooth and effortless. There was no break-in period. Just comfortable, forgiving miles that made me want to keep going longer than planned. It felt lighter than expected and easy on the legs, even at a steady pace. If you prefer a supportive daily trainer but want something plusher for easy or recovery runs, the 1080 v15 is a great switch-up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new infinion foam sold this shoe for me. I was never a big fan of the 13s or 14s for running, but the new 15s have been my go to shoe now. So comfortable, easy to run in, and I don’t feel as high up in them, but still cushioned
The 1080s are my go-to running sneaker! Supportive, super comfy and great color options!!! I will never run in anything else!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the cushioned feeling, and the new technology that the have
Definitely the best I love them……………………………………………..
The 1080 is the one and only shoe I can wear comfortably. My size is 13 Narrow. I get so excited when I hear a new release is coming because I purchase every color in my size. Unfortunately NB thinks black and white are what I need, not lime green, rosewood, or navy and other fashionable colors. I am so disappointed in NB - I am literally a walking advertisement for them and as time goes on, they offer me less and less.
