New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v14 Video Review

Video by Sam Winebaum

New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v14 ($140)

Update: Multi Tester Review

The 860 has been New Balance’s  moderate stability/support daily trainer for many years. With the v14 they jettison the  “traditional” firm and rigid foam medial pronation support post and substitute a thin hardened EVA Stability Plane plate as the key support element.. 

The entire midsole is now dual density with a soft (similar to the 1080)  Fresh Foam X underfoot and a slightly firmer foam (similar to the 880 v14) below and focused on the medial side.

It gains 2 mm of heel and 4 mm of forefoot stack height to become an 8mm drop shoe while its weight drops 0.1 oz/ 3g.

The results are pleasing for Sam who typically prefers non stability focused trainers.
