20 Mile Double Day in the New Balance Balos v1
July 17, 2024
watch on youtubeThe New Balance Fresh Foam X Balos v1 is a non-plated max cushioned training shoe designed to blend comfort and speed. Priced at $200,it's the first Fresh Foam shoe to integrate race foam into the midsole and it goes head-to-head with shoes like the On Cloudmonster Hyper and Asics Superblast in the expensive training shoe segment. In this video, I give an overview of the Balos, take it out for two runs totaling 20 miles and let you know how it stacks up.
