New Balance Fresh Foam Gobi

New Balance Fresh Foam Gobi is the versatile bet of the American brand. When we talk about versatile we refer to an all-road shoe. You can use it to run on asphalt or on gravel or pebble tracks or paths.

Although some media attribute the Gobi name to be ambiguous in meaning, this is not the case. New Balance Fresh Foam Gobi is a nod to the desert that bears the same name.

Just what this model offers us, to be able to enjoy different terrains without having to use different shoes.
