The NB Fresh Foam X 1080 v14 is positioned as the brand’s flagship running shoe, made to excel as both an everyday trainer and for longer races.

This version features extra-cushioning for all-day comfort, making it ideal for everyday runs and extended wear.

The standout Fresh Foam X midsole delivers plush, soft cushioning for smoother transitions from landing to push-off, while the updated triple jacquard mesh upper ensures a supportive, breathable fit.

Its plush cushioning and support make it great for everyday training and high-mileage runners seeking reduced fatigue and maximum comfort.

It’s also made for long-distance runners, for marathon training, long runs, and tempo sessions due to reliable midsole softness and high impact absorption.

The shoe’s stability, breathability, and all-day comfort makes it popular for those who stand or walk for extended periods (like nurses or retail workers).

Overall, the forgiving ride and support take the guesswork out, making it an excellent “one shoe for everything” for those starting out.
