Fordy Runs Examines the New Balance 1080 Version 12: An In-depth Review

In a recent video published by the running enthusiast channel, Fordy Runs, viewers are given a comprehensive analysis of the New Balance 1080 version 12. The channel, known for its dedication to the running community, shares insights and detailed reviews of running gear and footwear. In their latest offering, Fordy Runs' host cheers listeners around the globe, giving a special shoutout to the Malaysian audience where their podcast, 'The Long Run,' ranks as the country's top running podcast.

Fordy Runs dives into the review by addressing the previous iteration's shortcomings and the community's shift towards other models like the FuelCell Rebel and Fresh Foam More. The New Balance 1080, once a crowd favorite, has undergone significant changes in this latest iteration. With a fresh take on the heel counter, a return to a traditional fit, and the implementation of fresh foam X technology, the shoe promises a more comfortable and responsive experience. The channel carefully details the shoe's stats and features, highlighting the updated Hypoknit upper, which seems to offer a more spacious feel - a notable change that may appeal to runners seeking a roomier fit.

Concluding the review, Fordy Runs discusses the practical aspects of the New Balance 1080 v12 as a daily trainer. Although it has gained some weight, now clocking in at 305 grams or 10.75 ounces for a UK size 9.5, the shoe remains a suitable option for long runs and day-to-day mileage. Despite some concerns about heat retention in the upper material, the shoe's enhanced fit and Fresh Foam X's improved feel are deemed significant improvements. The video promises a future performance review and invites feedback from viewers who may have experienced numbness with last year's model. The final verdict seems to hinge on the price point and whether the enhancements justify the shoe's cost, especially for dedicated fans of New Balance.
