Ellipse v1 is a good running shoe in my opinion. I really enjoyed running in my pair. The feel was better than the 1080 v14 imo.

This is a great all around shoe for walking, standing, easy runs & recovery runs. This shoe feels great on feet. Not to soft, just the right amount of cushion. They are a little bouncy and keeps you moving along with the rocker when your running. My legs don't feel any kind of fatigue after standing or walking for long periods of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a very solid shoe. They feel very stable and the foam is super comfortable to run on. It feels like a shoe that would be great for recovery and long runs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very cushioned and comfortable, great as an everyday trainer. Feel a slight pressure point just below my toe when walking, but overall very comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing that jumps out about the shoe is it's appearance. It's a lot different from the other shoes in NB's lineup and seems like one I might want to wear around. When I put them on, I found the Ellipse to be pretty soft, falling somewhere in between the 1080 and 880. The Fresh Foam X doesn't have quite the liveliness of the new Infinion foam, but it's undeniably comfortable. I also had no issues with the width of the shoe or the size of the toebox. The feeling upon striking the ground was less springy and more mushy, which I personally like slow, easy miles, but wouldn't prefer to push the pace in. Running as far as 12 miles in them, I didn't find the cushion to bottom out at all, so I'm sure the shoe will hold up for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Ellipse v1 has wicked cool colorways and clean lines. The initial fit was really good. It fit true to size for a running shoe. Toe box area was snug but definitely not too tight. Once I laced it all up the shoe felt stable and I didn’t get the sense that it was wobbly at all. I could definitely feel the cushioning which was nice all around. As I was walking around in the ellipse v1s I could feel that the vamp of the shoe especially up on the top and sides of the balls of my feet was a little stiff. Every step I took I could almost feel the stiff parts of the vamp bend then fold on each step which felt a little weird. I tend to run on the my forefoot with a slight supination if anything. The first mile or so in the shoe was pretty good but into the 2nd mile I could feel a little pain on the front outsides of my feet. I think the ellipse v1 is probably lacking some cushioning in that part of the shoe to make it work for my foot strike style. Overall the cushioning was pretty good and seemed to be a middle of the road responsiveness compared to some other running shoes I’ve had. I think this shoe is definitely more geared towards someone that is more of a mid foot or heel striker. I think my overall impression of the ellipse v1 is that it’s a good shoe for easy runs if not more of a sleek looking lifestyle shoe. With the clean lines, vibrant color ways and decent heel cushioning it seems like a great shoe for getting out around the town or taking a nice easy jog.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just went on my first run with the Ellipse. It was a comfortable shoe with lots of bounce and cushion. After a 30 minute run I didn’t notice the shoe loosen and it snug just as I had tied it from the beginning. I found it easy to set the tension of the laces, sometimes it is easy to over tighten shoes. I will continue to wear these, i normally wear a stability shoe so I will keep and eye out for any differences. As a whole I love the style and fit! Roomy fit did not feel cramped in these shoes.
