This feels like a soft attempt at a Superblast competitor until you get to stack height. Not sure $200 for dual density makes sense when the Superblast is a few bucks more. Will be an interesting one to follow.
@@AlexFilitti A really interesting segment that I’m eager to see more options for. The Superblast has stood alone as a “super trainer” without a plate. ES3, Mach X, Boston, etc. all have a stiffener.
It doesn’t sound like it’s dual density in the traditional sense. It sounds like the EVA is the light orange part of the soul and is there to protect the PEBA without making the ride firmer or harsher like a more traditional rubber outsole would.
I would say more Endorphin Speed competitor. Considering the use, look of the shoe and how popular the Endorphin Speed line is NB don't have a shoe like it
So this is why the 1080 went from being the brands versatile and flagship daily trainer and then with v13 turned into a recovery run shoe, which one could argue the More v4 does exponentially better.
I'm an 880-1080-More runner and happy. I'm not sure this fits in but I'll look for reviews. I've wanted to try a supershoe but they don't come in a wide 4E. The FF line generally offers their shoes in 4E so I will look for the reviews when they come out. I actually have enough shoes through 2024 due to all of the sales the past month but this is one that I'm curious about.
Did I hear correctly, 33mm stack height at the back? That's maybe low against the competition, on the other hand if it's too squishy and no plate then I get it.
Balos means left-handed or something for the left side in Hungarian, so when I saw the title, I just thought, "They only sell the left one?! How about the right one?"
she had me until the EVA ground contact rubber... at the price point you would hope it would be more durable.... this is definitely an uptempo trainer compared to the 1080. The price point is crazyy... like this would be nice at 160 - 180 dollars...
@@JoutarouKuujou1I really don’t know tbh, I know it’s also used in basketball shoes and there doesn’t seem to be too much problem. Also, with the foam being so soft, the feeling of side to side rocker probably disappears when you land
What kind of strategy is it when it takes around 7 months after the announcement to hit the market? You can bet that the Chinese have already designed and manufactured a replica of it, so that when it hits the market, there will be no more buyers who want it.
I was thinking the same thing. The Beacon was the best all-around daily trainer that New Balance had. This shoe looks just like it, and hopefully, it will perform like it too.
@@JoutarouKuujou1 Good point -- I've never fitted out a side to side rocker shoe, but imagine it probably wouldn't be an ideal choice for my mild overpronation...
00:046 they need a better spokesperson…should couldn’t even get out the buzz words lol His face is like…come on say “minimal effort” …“shoe of the year”. Then she vomited “super shoe/Super trainer”.
New Balance is absolutely killing it!
Oh yeah! One of the strongest 2024 lineup we've seen at TRE today.
Saucony and NB look like the big hitters this year. @@AlexFilitti
Alot of DEAD WALLETS for sure...
this shoe is crazy! here New Balance designed the curvature of the midsole that I dreamed of! the upper is definitely perfect too!

A super interesting shoe in a market segment that is more and more busy. Let's see ;)

@@teknikal07 The ES3 has the nylon plate, hence not equating them in my head, but you may have a point in certain aspects.
The shape of the midsole reminds me of Skechers Go Run MaxRoad 5. If these shoes provide the same feeling underfoot, I'll definitely buy them.
Have tried this shoe, it's crazy bouncy and fun ❤
Thanks for letting us know!!
New balance may be the brand of 2024 … look forward to trying that shoe
NB is 100% killing it ! I was a huge Asics fan , but i became NB fan now !
So this is why the 1080 went from being the brands versatile and flagship daily trainer and then with v13 turned into a recovery run shoe, which one could argue the More v4 does exponentially better.
More is 4mm drop, no?
The NB UltraBeacon...
Haha good name
Looks quite interesting. Good celebration for the Fresh Foam anniversary
Yes!!
Like the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro and the NB 1080 v13 had a baby.^^

That rocker 🤯
The shoe looks great and so does Cody! 🤩
I guess it will compete with the Asics SuperBlast. But it is an allowed shoes to use in competition.

Fresh foam + PEBA 🤤
love the comedic interaction..
... after looking at the shoe on a few differing videos.. these are growing on me.. I may have to give them a try
I feel the same. No love at first sight but I keep thinking about it them
It looks like new balance got a new design team, they still look good.
Thank you for the review.
Is the Balos suitable for standing and walking??
The profile look like the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro. Maybe Mizuno is inspiring other brands?
I would love just one do it all shoe, it sounds amazing ❤
the shoe looks amazing and really want to try it but I think it's overpriced
How does this compare to sc trainer v3 ? I thought that was there premium trainer ? Why does this cost £20 more ?
Hm . So what the difference compare to NB Rebel ? which i absolutely love
So they deliberately made the 1080v13 so soft that they created room for a more stiffer version….sounds dodge
Just wonder if this shoe is suitable for everyday walking and if it has all black colorway
Hello, what is the drop and weight of the Balos?
Balos means left-handed or something for the left side in Hungarian, so when I saw the title, I just thought, "They only sell the left one?! How about the right one?"
Haha that's excellent!!
Supertrainer
Balos - freshfoam
SC trainer - fuelcell
Making two supertrainer with diff foam
it would compete with Superblast?
The Superblast from New Balance
I bit less « tempo » oriented I would say. But we’ll find out
she had me until the EVA ground contact rubber... at the price point you would hope it would be more durable.... this is definitely an uptempo trainer compared to the 1080. The price point is crazyy... like this would be nice at 160 - 180 dollars...
Same I'm not to happy with the ground contact eva I was expecting a very durable outsole
So New Balance version of Superblast?
That's it
what's a side to side rocker?
It's an excellent question
I think it’s like the sole being rounded on the sides. Like the midsole makes a u shape when you look at it from the front
@@prwnrdy Wouldn't that just make it less stable? I'm not complaining just wondering how it affects the ride. Never heard of it before
@@JoutarouKuujou1I really don’t know tbh, I know it’s also used in basketball shoes and there doesn’t seem to be too much problem. Also, with the foam being so soft, the feeling of side to side rocker probably disappears when you land
Very nice looking

I think that's actually a good teasing strategy but I'm not sure when it comes to knock-offs
Am I really the one to say this: This is a modern Freshfoam Beacon. At least I hope so. :)
I was thinking the same thing. The Beacon was the best all-around daily trainer that New Balance had. This shoe looks just like it, and hopefully, it will perform like it too.
Could I use this for a marathon. I'm a heel striker 9 min mile person 🤔
Similar time here and I have the same question.
200$ that’s 260 new balance € right?
With there European price policy at least 240€.
At the end of the day it's a quicker daily trainer for a lot of money.
Any word on the stability?
No word on that
It has a side to side rocker so good luck with that
@@JoutarouKuujou1 Good point -- I've never fitted out a side to side rocker shoe, but imagine it probably wouldn't be an ideal choice for my mild overpronation...
*I am interested*
That squish is too much. I feel like my ankles would die. But it looks cool
Very squishy indeed!
Looks nice but at $200, just no
Newbalance do mad sales though
ASICS better sale IMO. Got Novablast v3 for $75@@JoutarouKuujou1
@@JoutarouKuujou1 Lol, no. New balance early has sales
Interesting
Bring back the Beacon!
This shoe will easily tell you how you strike your feet when you run lol
Release date?
August if I remember well
200 dollars for a Training Shoe. .. Then you spend another 300 in Racing Shoe.
Too expensive
What would be the right price point for it you think?
Too Rich for my blood.

This guy upsets my stomach
33-27. No, thanks.
