What Is New Balance Fresh Foam?

Created in 2013, New Balance Fresh Foam running shoes feature advanced cushioning technology that protects your feet from high impacts on different surfaces, from the tarmac to the dirt. To maximise the effectiveness of this technology, the brand has conducted lots of in-depth research, using motion capture on professional athletes (most notably Olympic track and field athlete Kim Konley) to identify the areas where the most pressure is applied with each step. The result of this research is an innovative collection of trail and road running shoes built for efficiency and comfort.

So, how does it work? Put simply, Fresh Foam is composed of EVA, a synthetic material that’s both soft and lightweight. This cushioning is added to the midsoles of NB running shoes to help wearers cover more ground quickly and without excessive risk of injury. While the cushioning used in many running trainers sacrifices energy, EVA returns it to you, flexing in response to the movements of your feet.

Since the early days of the Fresh Foam line, the technology has undergone significant development, with 2020 marking the release of an even more advanced version: Fresh Foam X. This iteration is said to be softer and lighter, further enhancing the comfort and performance of those who use it. Whether you’re a competitive runner or a casual exerciser, the benefits that these shoes provide are well worth the investment.
