So you're perusing the Philadelphia Runner website and thinking, "I need a shoe that's perfect for longer runs when I want something extremely lightweight.....and also ideal for shorter runs when you want to fly!" Love Run is coming up, or the Phillies Charities 5K, or Broad Street.....or the weekly jam session with your run club. But you want, um, need a shoe that can handle the workload. And look good. And wear to the gym. And to the coffee shop. And.....
Well, friends, you're in luck. The New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v15 has returned for its Vinnie Johnson Season (that's number 15). And just like "The Microwave", New Balance’s All Day, Every Day neutral trainer can fit anywhere into your footwear rotation. Starting lineup, first shoe "off the bench", wherever for whatever.
Mr. Vincent Johnson received the nickname "The Microwave" for his ability to come into a basketball game and QUICKLY get buckets. No setting the oven to 350 degrees, waiting for the preheat, etcetera, then ready to bake. VJ was instant! Same with the 880. Right out of the box, no break in needed, ready to roll. Ready to run.
The 880 franchise is known for a plush, responsive Fresh Foam X midsole and a structured, yet breathable upper – both built with the comfort and durability to handle any run or walk with ease. The New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v15 is great choice for any time versatility – everyday casual wears, walking, jogging, and the aforementioned training and running. You'll enjoy it for cross training and weightlifting as well. Lace up, run to the gym, get a quick lift in, run home on a weekday. Lace up and long run on the weekend. All in the 880. Heat right out of the box like "The Microwave" Vinnie Johnson!
