With the surname "All Terrain" included, the third edition of the New Balance Nitrel is an all-terrain trailrunning shoe, but it also stands out for its versatility, since it can offer a good performance both in off-road and on-road trails.
In these New Balance Nitrel v3, functionality and lightness go hand in hand to present a more than interesting option, if you are looking for a trailrunning shoe that ensures optimal cushioning, traction and support in the right measure to run without worries on any type of terrain.
In the breakdown of the features of the New Balance Nitrel v3, the first thing to highlight is the composition of its midsole in which the exclusive REVlite foam has been implemented, which in addition to providing better response and more durability, also lightens the weight of the shoe by 30% compared to other more standard cushioning materials.
And the fact that the New Balance Nitrel v3 features REVlite foam, with the added bonus of being lightweight, means that this trail running shoe is also optimized for fast running. And its energy return is especially significant.
As for its upper, this model includes a mesh upper, constructed in a single piece, which avoids overlaps and seams, thus improving both fit and breathability. Nor is its elegant and sophisticated design left out, which generates doubts when it comes to classifying it as a trail shoe in use.
Traction is another of the strong points of these New Balance Nitrel v 3, since it includes an AT tread and a lugged outsole with different dimensions to ensure optimal adherence and grip on all types of terrain. Also noteworthy is the Toe Protect plate in the front of the shoe, whose mission is none other than to offer protection against impacts that you may encounter along the way.
Finally in the chapter of technical specifications, these New Balance Nitrel v3 presents a drop of 8 millimeters, and a surprisinglylight weightof 294 grams for the men's version, and 230 grams for the women's model.
All in all, these New Balance Nitrel v3 do not reach the level of the mythical New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro, but they can fit perfectly as an entry-level trialrunning shoe with a great quality/price ratio. But also as a complementary model for more experienced trailrunners for their more relaxed runs when they don't want to crush their top of the range shoes.
