New Balance 1500v1

The staging of the New Balance 1500 v1 has a clear reference. And that reference has a name and surname: Sebastian Kienle, Ironman World Champion in Hawaii in 2014. And as in the discipline of triathlon, speed is one of the maxims to be followed by every competitor, this new model from the American firm combines lightness, stability, cushioning, control and response. Everything, or practically all the relevant aspects that should be present in a flying shoe.

There is no distance that can resist it, although, due to its outstanding performance, the New Balance 1500 v1 is designed to take part in long distance races, including marathons. It can even be a good option for training at fast paces.

With a weight of 196 grams -168 grams in the women's version-, and a 6 mm drop, the New Balance 1500 v1 is included in the segment of low profile shoes.

In addition, one of its details to take into account is the incorporation of REVlite foam to make a more cushioned and reactive midsole. The presence of the T-BEAM system provides stability.

The upper mesh is lightweight, breathable and very comfortable, as it has no seams, favoring an optimal fit.

And finally, the exclusive wink for triathletes is found in the detail of the grip loop on the heel. An element that allows for quick transitions when changing from the bike to the Running shoes.

All in all, this new model from New Balance is designed for athletes with mild to moderate pronation and weighing no more than 70 kilos.
