Big fan of this shoe. I have wide feet and every time I lace these up it feels like a nice cozy hug. The fresh foam is absolutely incredible. 10/10 daily trainer
It took me a few runs to like these. I originally thought they were too soft, but after I learned how to use them in my rotation as a cushioned daily trainer instead of an all out recovery day shoe I learned to appreciate them more. A solid versatile option for sure!
Very nice review, very nice shoe. I had 1080 v8, v9, v11 and now v13, and I can safely say NB is always improving this shoe, each version better than the previous one. Again, great video!
This shoe is a 10/10 for me, walking/running/walking to the mailbox. I look to grab this shoe for everything, and it looks great with all sorts of fits. I wanted to love the SC elite V4, but they were just ok. Would have made for a solid rotation. Next NB I'll buy are the Balos...they look soooo good. Can't wait to try them out this summer/fall.
@@io-rj6sk honestly can't tell, the rocker looks more agressive than on this shoe. But it's "max cushion" as well. I saw it at the running event, and the styling is awesome. So we shall see!
I had the 1080 V12 and can't say I liked it. Still have not had the chance of trying the V13, but reviews such as this one show it's an altogether new concept. I hope I can find a great price here in Brazil (not likely) so I can test it. Great video, as always, Mr. Kofuzi. You do a fantastic work! Have a good one, everybody!
I agree, I’ve run 450 km in my V12 and it feels flat and dull, especially compared to the many other shoes I own. I still sometimes use it for short runs in bad weather mainly. Will likely buy V13 when it hits sales here in Finland, it seems to be more soft, bouncy and fun.
After watching this review i purchased this shoe and I tried this NB 1080 v13 in my first 42km LSD , over all comfort 9/10 best shoe for LSD and easy days for me

What a great review of the 1080. I find the experiences I had with my shoe spot on with the details Kofuzi provides. In my opinion I believe if you go with the 1080 you'd be more likely to stick to zone 2 vs the Rebel v4. My only complaint about New Balance is the outsole. I really wish they would address the issue with excessive wear on the shoe bottoms.
I put a TON of miles in on the V12's on my last marathon training block. Big fan of fresh foam. I'm anxiously waiting the Balos, I think that shoe is going to make it's own category.
I’ve already put 120 km on them and they are so nice! I’m usually using them for easy efforts but they also pick up the pace very nicely. The Fresh Foam is so soft, yet bouncy, it’s a great concept.
Surprisingly light and insane comfort, literally number 1 versatile running shoe for me, won’t switch for anything. Really so do love it especially coming from the bondi 8. Wasn’t a fan of that shoe
I use to wear only Nike Pegasus until I bought the NB 1080v13 I’m so happy I did I love my 1080v13s so comfy stable and I run and walk longer with no pain.
Just a newbie in running and I was looking for a max cushion shoes because the pegasus is too firm for me. Got this 1080v13 for $103 from the new balance store. Steal! Last pair of 1080v13 gray size 9 Wide. All other colors are on regular price. I tried both the more v4 and this. I was actually surprised that the more v4 is firmer but less bouncier. And this 1080v13 has more cushion that I can literally feel but it is also has more bounce. Just finished my first run earlier using this and I am loving it. The hard impact that I am feeling from my pegasus before greatly lessened. It is also stable enough for me contrary to other reviews saying that it’s not. Great shoes for me.
Heavy runner (230lbs) here with semi-wide feet. I ran my fastest half-marathon in these this year. Faster than what I could do in the ASICS Nimbus 26, Novablast 4, or Noosa Tri 15. The 1080v13 is loads more cushy than Novablast. The nimbus is the most comfortable for me, though, but it is not as bouncy or fast as the 1080v13.
Thank you for your review kofuzi, i already put 200km in my 1080 v13 and loving every single run when i put these shoes. Especially easy pace, And im planning to buy the rebel v4 to replace my 1080 v13 and your recomendation might seal the deal. Thanks 🎉
Bought the 1080 V13 to replace my Rebel V3 as my treadmill shoe and absolutely loving it though do kind of miss the Rebel V3. Living in Utah the treadmill is getting plenty of miles and the 1080 V13 is handling them well
Totally agree about the rubber wear. I have 160km/100miles on mine, as a lateral heel/midfoot striker the rubber doesn't go to the edge enough, so the foam is taking a little beating. By 300ish km I'll have lateral rocker on the shoe.
I have an all white pair of version 13 that’s I’ve worn anytime I’m running around doing shit. Recycling cans going to the gym just beating them up - and I weigh 300 pounds 😮😮 the foam has definitely compressed a bit but they still feel great and while they are dirty - the shoe itself has held up very well. I’ve been beating them up (but not running) they are holding up really well
I hope and pray the more v5s have the same midsole but with max stack cushion shoe with tons of the new fresh foam x, I love this shoe don't get me wrong but I am eagerly waiting for the fresh foam x more v5!! Oh, and the new Balos and all the new launches for that matter I will have every new New Balance this year!
@@harrisonevans1802 yep, I follow his channel, he's been doing really nice vlogs and reviews! He even took his little kid for a run with him these past days, was so cool! Indeed he found the shoe to be quite dull for the modern standards, which makes total sense. But the 880 has the intention of offering a more traditional package (a firmer ride, stability and a lot of rubber on the outsole) something that doesn't seem to please him very much. New Balance is now offering all-around daily trainers that suit different preferences, from the classic style 880 to the all new rockered and bouncy Balos. Hope Kofuzi takes the shoe a bit farther to see if the foam breaks down a bit.
I think a better pairing to save money and go with a 2 shoe rotation is get the New Balance 1080v13 for easy and everyday runs paired with SC Trainer V3 for both workouts and races.
I don't really follow other people's reviews, but I'm not really seeing negative comments about the 1080 in my videos. what I am seeing is people saying that they're seeing a lot of negative comments. it's like a "lot's of people are saying" kind of thing that I just haven't seen. maybe you you DM me on IG (shared links tends to get filtered by RUclips comments) with some of the things you're seeing
I’ve put about 50 miles on the v13 and am one of the naysayers. It’s too squishy without much bounce/springiness. It’s been relegated to a walking/recovery shoe.
I already passed 100 miles on my pair, and they are good ,but not that good for the high price it cost. I find the cushioning not too good to absorve impact when I heel strike. And it is also a bit wobbly for my taste. Score 7/10 . Can't wait for the More v5 ! It should be a better pair of shoes for my taste: high soft cushioning that absorve better the impact of the foot strikes and the guardrails it has to make them much less wobbly them the 1080 v13.
Just had my first run in these shoes. Not a fan of NB tbh, but great easy day shoes, will see how it performs on an over 15-20k run. Side note I did bottom out in the NB Rebel v4 you compared it to, granted I'm on the larger sides of runners probably (6'2", 190-200lbs)
Man most people just trying to replace the Invincible 1s and 2s. This is pretty darn close. Triumph 21 didn't cut it, neither did the Gel-Nimbus. Plus the NBs just look good. Specially the White and Coastal blue option!
Just got this shoe to try as I went through two pairs of Nimbus 25 and wanted to try something different. Love that it seems to force more fore- to mid-foot strike for me due to a lower drop (I think this is 6mm while Nimbus is 8mm?) so my knees are happier. The two runs I've taken this shoe on so far had felt effortless and I think it's a keeper. The cushion does have a slight sinking feeling but not bad to the point that it's sucking energy. I do question the durability and how fast the foam will flatten and wear out though, because right now fresh out of the box it feels so nice but I can see that over time it'll feel dead. Hopefully it'll last me at least 300 miles before that happens!
@@Scott_800 Hey glad you followed up on my comment because I’ve been absolutely loving the 1080. I feel like I trend faster in the 1080 without exerting extra energy. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to the Nimbus so anything less cushiony feels like a rocket on my feet. I know a lot of people find the 1080 too soft but to me it’s definitely not as soft as the More v4. I think you should give it a try. My Strava shows that I’ve logged over 140 miles on the 1080 as I write this so I think it’s still going strong. Have to say I haven’t picked up Nimbus much in the last month or so but maybe it’s also because my Nimbus is nearing the end of its life. Might be worth keeping both in the rotation.
As someone with bunion, I’m so surprised to see so many wide feet runners like these shoes. I sized up half a size for these (wide option not available in my country) but still found toebox squish my bunion. The foam is also too soft so I feel I have to work harder to run in these and felt so horrible after 20K. However, these are great for grocery shopping, grabbing the mail, etc.
These were on sale for $122 on Black Friday week and I haven't seen them discounted since then. The 1080v12 was very hard to find discounted in their first year as well. They are $90 or less at Joe's New Balance so they do go on sale but the 1080 line is one of the more resistant to price drops.
I love my 1080 v13 and have a hard time Running in anything else .. how similar is the squish/compression/feel of the novablast 4?(if i should Shake things up)
I had the 1080v12 and was VERY disappointed with it. For context I'm 6'0 and 135lbs but after 250kms I ended up injured with a blown out Soleus from the shoe having broken down so fast (this was with my regular training load, 70-100km a week). The previous shoe I was using was the Hola Tecton X, which I was very impressed by given that i got 700km out of it before they broke down. Really not sure what happened with the 1080's...
@@kofuzi Thanks a lot for responding! I was super confused regarding this. I saw these selling for $130 yesterday in Dick's clearance sale. I'll go ahead and buy them.
Nice review! This will be my next daily trainer. As for the pairing options: for a slow marathon (5:00 min/km) what would be better, endorphine pro, elite 4, or something like the endorphine speed?
I’m having an issue with certain New Balance shoes, particularly the More V4 and 1080v13. The tongue is uncomfortable because a piece of fabric behind the seam (toward the toes) constantly rubs against the top of my foot. It's strange, but the More V5 doesn’t have this problem! I can’t understand how anyone can wear these two models, as that piece of fabric keeps pressing and rubbing against the foot. No other shoe brand seems to have this issue - in every other shoe, the fabric behind the seam at the end of the tongue is always neatly trimmed, regardless of the model. Can someone explain what’s going on? Check your More V4 or 1080v13 shoes - doesn’t it bother you? Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? These two are by far the most comfortable shoes for me, but I can’t wear them because of this issue. I don’t have any problems with the Rebel V4, which I’m currently wearing.
Really enjoy these shoes a ton - little surprise a week or so ago when the 880 v14 came out without any fanfare and its super good as well kind of like a lower stack 1080 - any chance these are in your rotation? Just curious.
@@kofuzi cool it is completely different. I think you will like it. As well. I have had the last few. And last years was no different from the v12. So no worries there. But a much transformed shoe
I love this shoe, but I feel like it changed a bit after a bit of mileage. I’m on pair #2, and even after only 150 miles the new vs old comparison is a big difference. It still feels great, but it changed quite a bit, but I think the less dense fresh foam x is less durable
@@kofuzi I’ve been on both sides of that coin. I used to value durability extremely highly, but with access to more options and quantity of shoes than before, the trade off is becoming more reasonable for me
I just bought the rebel v4s and even though the cushioning on them is great, I've been thinking of getting something with a bit more of a softer feel for those long slow runs or easy runs. Do you reckon it's still worth getting the 1080 v13 if I already have the rebel v4? As the rebel seems to be aimed slightly more at those tempo and speedier interval training sessions
What is the thought process / criteria for the pairing recommendations? I have the 1080v13 and I love them… I get why a speedier shoe would be good for workouts but wondering why Kofuzi picked those specifically to go with the 1080v13?
the process is: (1) what is this shoe? (2) assuming a person likes this shoe and also assuming that the person had no other shoes, what would I recommend they get next? so it's basically, if you like this, you might also like...
Thank you Michael, been waiting for your 100 M review. I ran 10 ish miles at local shoe store trial event, really loved how bouncy cushiony/ bouncy they are on straight way but, I kinda felt a bit insecure/ unstable anytime I had to turn in them, felt like my foot was coming out of shoe. May be I need to get used to it? Any thoughts?
I have the 1080 v13s for my very easy pace runs/ recovery. I’d like to stick to new balance for my marathon later in the year. Would you recommend trainer v2 or elite v4 for my first marathon which I’ll be going around 6min pace (kilometres)?
Firstly, great channel, well done. Would you pick the 1080v13 over the Nimbus 25 as a daily trainer AND recovery day shoe? I just bought the Nimbus and I feel it “sucks” a bit of the energy out of my run, allowing for only slow paces (which, to be fair, is what I actually need, but it’s a bit boring). Btw, the reason I went for the Nimbus 25 is the huge price difference in Europe. I got the N25 for €120 while the 1080s retail for €190! Worth the price difference?
I've had two pairs of the Nimbus 25 and loved the shoe. Agreed that it comes across as too much cushion and energy sucking but it seems to work for me fine for easy runs with slight pace pick-ups. I think it could be more durable than the 1080v13 as I don't see a lot of wear and tear at all. The big difference to me is that the Nimbus has an 8mm drop while the 1080v13 has 6mm. I've noticed a significant change to my foot strike and which muscles I use more with these two shoes. For me the 1080v13 is a bit easier on the knees. The Nimbus 25 is cheaper now because it's an older model - the Nimbus 26 has been out for quite some time already.
@@meangirlbecca Hey! Thanks for replying. Meanwhile, I‘ve covered about 160 km with my Nimbus shoes and love them! I began as a heavier runner and with my old shoes, me knees would kill me in pain after every run, even if that was slow. With the Nimbus I am almost pain-free (though I‘ve also lost a significant amount of weight) and I feel like they protect my legs. Regarding the speed thing I mentioned in my initial comment, I feel like the shoes don‘t really hold me that much back. In fact, I like them so much that I ran my first ever 10K competitions in them, improving my 10K time to from 1:06:45 to 1:01:14 in my first effort ten days ago and down to 1:00:09 yesterday! That might sound slow -and it probably is- but it‘s the fastest I‘ve ever run such a distance. My only problem with the shoes is the grip in wet conditions, as they can be very slippery on some road surfaces.
I’ve been struggling to find a replacement for my Nike Invinsible 2s here in New Zealand.. i like the stack + the bounciness of it.. would you recommend this as a replacement?
The only replacement for an Invincible 2 is another Invincible 2. Nike ruined it going to version 3 adding a strobel board and introducing a heel slip issue. The only other shoe that's full length PEBA is the Topo Cyclone 2 which is like an Invincible 2 but with more ground feel.
Am I the only one having quality issues with the mesh material on New Balance running shoes? It dissolves for me quickly on the outer side creating big holes, even different shoe models all having in common this mesh material. This was not happening before when other material was used for the upper shoe part.
different shoes. nova 3 is a firmer more responsive shoe. I have both and the nova makes the 1080v13 a recovery shoe. That said the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.
They are different foams with different experiences to them. The 1080 is a bouncy all-rounder. The Rebel is a daily trainer that can be used for light workouts too
Fuelcell is their speedy foam. Not necessarily Peba but it's light and springy. Fresh Foam is specialized EVA but softer cushioning for daily training and recovery shoes. If you know Adidas, Fuelcell = Lightstrike Pro and Fresh Foam = Lightstrike 2.0
I feel like the shoes have slightly different use cases, so it would depend on what else a person has in their rotation and what they prefer. But since the question specifically asks which shoe I’d prefer, I’d say Rebel.
I've personally seen some of the next round of colorways, and I thought they were supposed to be winter releases. but I haven't seen them on the web yet
Between the 1080 v13 and the newest generation of Hokas, the 1080 is more comfortable than any of their comfort shoes. The new generation of Bondi feels more like a clunky Nike; the “nik-ification” of hoka has made me sad.
Big fan of this shoe. I have wide feet and every time I lace these up it feels like a nice cozy hug. The fresh foam is absolutely incredible. 10/10 daily trainer
What width did you go with?
I tried on my normal size I wear in new balance and these things were ridiculously tight
@@ChrisBangz23 that’s surprising. I went with the normal width and they fit great.
@@Skip1409 yup, I’m a big new balance fan. All their “casual” sneakers I wear a 8.5. Tried these on and it was very tight
I got them in wide, they are perfect@@ChrisBangz23
Did you go up half a size or true to size?
It took me a few runs to like these. I originally thought they were too soft, but after I learned how to use them in my rotation as a cushioned daily trainer instead of an all out recovery day shoe I learned to appreciate them more. A solid versatile option for sure!

Love that it seems to force more fore- to mid-foot strike for me due to a lower drop (I think this is 6mm while Nimbus is 8mm?) so my knees are happier. The two runs I've taken this shoe on so far had felt effortless and I think it's a keeper. The cushion does have a slight sinking feeling but not bad to the point that it's sucking energy. I do question the durability and how fast the foam will flatten and wear out though, because right now fresh out of the box it feels so nice but I can see that over time it'll feel dead. Hopefully it'll last me at least 300 miles before that happens!
Hey did you end up liking these more than the nimbus 25? Wondering if I should get a third pair of the nimbus or try the 1080v13
@@Scott_800 Hey glad you followed up on my comment because I’ve been absolutely loving the 1080. I feel like I trend faster in the 1080 without exerting extra energy. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to the Nimbus so anything less cushiony feels like a rocket on my feet. I know a lot of people find the 1080 too soft but to me it’s definitely not as soft as the More v4. I think you should give it a try. My Strava shows that I’ve logged over 140 miles on the 1080 as I write this so I think it’s still going strong. Have to say I haven’t picked up Nimbus much in the last month or so but maybe it’s also because my Nimbus is nearing the end of its life. Might be worth keeping both in the rotation.
@@meangirlbecca I’ll def check them out thanks for the reply!!
As someone with bunion, I’m so surprised to see so many wide feet runners like these shoes. I sized up half a size for these (wide option not available in my country) but still found toebox squish my bunion. The foam is also too soft so I feel I have to work harder to run in these and felt so horrible after 20K. However, these are great for grocery shopping, grabbing the mail, etc.
I'm afraid I don't know much about bunions. thank you for the feedback
These were on sale for $122 on Black Friday week and I haven't seen them discounted since then. The 1080v12 was very hard to find discounted in their first year as well. They are $90 or less at Joe's New Balance so they do go on sale but the 1080 line is one of the more resistant to price drops.
1080 v13 is a mass tried shoe for daily trainer shoes no doubt about it
I love my 1080 v13 and have a hard time Running in anything else .. how similar is the squish/compression/feel of the novablast 4?(if i should Shake things up)
Interesting information. Like from Spain 🇪🇸. A nice weekend for everyone.
Cumulus 26 vs. 1080v13 vs. Rebel V4 vs. Vomero 17. Probably an ultimate comparison.
It a good shoe. I find the cushion to be a bit too marshmallowy for my preference, so I run in the Ghost Max for my long easy days.
that makes sense to me
How about the breathability? Does it feels a bit warm during long run?
How does the feel compare to the Clifton 9s? What are some good alternatives to the Clifton 9?
I provide alternatives in the Clifton 9 review

got mine for 100 on sale, love it
loving it too, after a failed version 10.
The creasing in the Rebel v4 midsole though 😳
Everyone always focuses on the creasing
I’ve almost gone the same pairing but swapped the adidas for a Hoka mach 6 for up tempo runs
I had the 1080v12 and was VERY disappointed with it. For context I'm 6'0 and 135lbs but after 250kms I ended up injured with a blown out Soleus from the shoe having broken down so fast (this was with my regular training load, 70-100km a week). The previous shoe I was using was the Hola Tecton X, which I was very impressed by given that i got 700km out of it before they broke down. Really not sure what happened with the 1080's...
How is the arch?
After 1080v12, I decided no more for me. Ordered the v13 today for $128 and will give them a shot!
hope you enjoy!
Can i use it for my first full marathon?
Yes
@@kofuzi Thanks a lot for responding! I was super confused regarding this. I saw these selling for $130 yesterday in Dick's clearance sale. I'll go ahead and buy them.
Is it good for 30km+ long run?
Nice review! This will be my next daily trainer. As for the pairing options: for a slow marathon (5:00 min/km) what would be better, endorphine pro, elite 4, or something like the endorphine speed?
I'm really liking the 1080v13 but what's the deal with the availability of the Takumi Sen 10? I can't really seem to find it available anywhere.
I replaced the insoles with orthopedic ones and it's great
I really like mine for long slow runs but I find they're too soft for anything faster. Feel like pillows on your feet in a good and bad way
I’m having an issue with certain New Balance shoes, particularly the More V4 and 1080v13. The tongue is uncomfortable because a piece of fabric behind the seam (toward the toes) constantly rubs against the top of my foot. It's strange, but the More V5 doesn’t have this problem! I can’t understand how anyone can wear these two models, as that piece of fabric keeps pressing and rubbing against the foot. No other shoe brand seems to have this issue - in every other shoe, the fabric behind the seam at the end of the tongue is always neatly trimmed, regardless of the model. Can someone explain what’s going on? Check your More V4 or 1080v13 shoes - doesn’t it bother you? Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? These two are by far the most comfortable shoes for me, but I can’t wear them because of this issue. I don’t have any problems with the Rebel V4, which I’m currently wearing.
I haven't noticed it
have you considered a small piece of fabric tape or perhaps a different sock?
Really enjoy these shoes a ton - little surprise a week or so ago when the 880 v14 came out without any fanfare and its super good as well kind of like a lower stack 1080 - any chance these are in your rotation? Just curious.
I skipped last year's 880 but will probably test that one in a couple months
@@kofuzi cool it is completely different. I think you will like it. As well.
I have had the last few. And last years was no different from the v12. So no worries there. But a much transformed shoe
I love this shoe, but I feel like it changed a bit after a bit of mileage. I’m on pair #2, and even after only 150 miles the new vs old comparison is a big difference. It still feels great, but it changed quite a bit, but I think the less dense fresh foam x is less durable
I recognize that this is likely an unpopular opinion, but I will (within reason) accept less durability for more enjoyable running experience
@@kofuzi I’ve been on both sides of that coin. I used to value durability extremely highly, but with access to more options and quantity of shoes than before, the trade off is becoming more reasonable for me
Would you use 1080v13 for long runs, Revel V4 for tempo and Elite V4 for race day? Or Rebel is just like 1080 for long runs?
I just bought the rebel v4s and even though the cushioning on them is great, I've been thinking of getting something with a bit more of a softer feel for those long slow runs or easy runs. Do you reckon it's still worth getting the 1080 v13 if I already have the rebel v4? As the rebel seems to be aimed slightly more at those tempo and speedier interval training sessions
What did you end up doing? Did you buy the 1080? I just bought thr Rebel V4 and I think the same as you. Thinking of buying the 1080 for long runs.
What is the thought process / criteria for the pairing recommendations? I have the 1080v13 and I love them… I get why a speedier shoe would be good for workouts but wondering why Kofuzi picked those specifically to go with the 1080v13?
the process is:
(1) what is this shoe?
(2) assuming a person likes this shoe and also assuming that the person had no other shoes, what would I recommend they get next?
so it's basically, if you like this, you might also like...
have you ever seen the movie, City Slickers, where they play a game of pair an ice cream with a dinner? it's basically exactly like that
Thank you Michael, been waiting for your 100 M review. I ran 10 ish miles at local shoe store trial event, really loved how bouncy cushiony/ bouncy they are on straight way but, I kinda felt a bit insecure/ unstable anytime I had to turn in them, felt like my foot was coming out of shoe. May be I need to get used to it? Any thoughts?
I'm wondering what one would choose, Nova blast 4 or these
Hi Kofuzi,
Is the 1080 shoe suitable for standing and all day wear?
Thank you.
I am here, because i just bought these shoes for a great bargain usd 80-ish... 😊
How do you like the shoes?
@@kofuzi say no more .. so good... I even ditch my nimbus 25 for this
Uploaded a minute ago! Earliest I've been on one of these reviews!
I have the 1080 v13s for my very easy pace runs/ recovery. I’d like to stick to new balance for my marathon later in the year. Would you recommend trainer v2 or elite v4 for my first marathon which I’ll be going around 6min pace (kilometres)?
Firstly, great channel, well done. Would you pick the 1080v13 over the Nimbus 25 as a daily trainer AND recovery day shoe? I just bought the Nimbus and I feel it “sucks” a bit of the energy out of my run, allowing for only slow paces (which, to be fair, is what I actually need, but it’s a bit boring). Btw, the reason I went for the Nimbus 25 is the huge price difference in Europe. I got the N25 for €120 while the 1080s retail for €190! Worth the price difference?
I've had two pairs of the Nimbus 25 and loved the shoe. Agreed that it comes across as too much cushion and energy sucking but it seems to work for me fine for easy runs with slight pace pick-ups. I think it could be more durable than the 1080v13 as I don't see a lot of wear and tear at all. The big difference to me is that the Nimbus has an 8mm drop while the 1080v13 has 6mm. I've noticed a significant change to my foot strike and which muscles I use more with these two shoes. For me the 1080v13 is a bit easier on the knees. The Nimbus 25 is cheaper now because it's an older model - the Nimbus 26 has been out for quite some time already.
@@meangirlbecca Hey! Thanks for replying. Meanwhile, I‘ve covered about 160 km with my Nimbus shoes and love them! I began as a heavier runner and with my old shoes, me knees would kill me in pain after every run, even if that was slow. With the Nimbus I am almost pain-free (though I‘ve also lost a significant amount of weight) and I feel like they protect my legs. Regarding the speed thing I mentioned in my initial comment, I feel like the shoes don‘t really hold me that much back. In fact, I like them so much that I ran my first ever 10K competitions in them, improving my 10K time to from 1:06:45 to 1:01:14 in my first effort ten days ago and down to 1:00:09 yesterday! That might sound slow -and it probably is- but it‘s the fastest I‘ve ever run such a distance. My only problem with the shoes is the grip in wet conditions, as they can be very slippery on some road surfaces.
Is there a big difference from getting these on wide vs the standard fit?
Ko I think you set a PB in the time it took to say the disclosure 😂
sometimes, it gets very tedious to say, so I make a game of it
1080 v13s or nike pegasus 41s? HELP
I’ve been struggling to find a replacement for my Nike Invinsible 2s here in New Zealand.. i like the stack + the bounciness of it.. would you recommend this as a replacement?
The only replacement for an Invincible 2 is another Invincible 2. Nike ruined it going to version 3 adding a strobel board and introducing a heel slip issue. The only other shoe that's full length PEBA is the Topo Cyclone 2 which is like an Invincible 2 but with more ground feel.
superblast, cloudeclipse
can i use it in Track speed workouts?

I really hope it becomes a bit where Mike tries to say it faster and faster 😂
@@jimduyck that would be really funny xD

Is it good for wide feet ?
Nimbus 26 after 100 miles?
Just copped a pair for $68 Canadian 😎
Am I the only one having quality issues with the mesh material on New Balance running shoes? It dissolves for me quickly on the outer side creating big holes, even different shoe models all having in common this mesh material. This was not happening before when other material was used for the upper shoe part.
I've not heard of that happening. have you tried customer service?
This shoe or the Nova 3?!
Nova 3 for me
@@kofuzi my favorite shoe of all time!
different shoes. nova 3 is a firmer more responsive shoe. I have both and the nova makes the 1080v13 a recovery shoe. That said the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.
What's your recommendation for the most cushioned shoe or shoes on the market?
if you like a Bondi-like shoe, then Topo Atmos
otherwise, maybe Nimbus 25 or More v4
I’m a 1080 devotee and I’ve recently started running in the More V4 on recovery days… love them! 👍🏼
Hi! I'm new here... If both the 1080v13 and the rebelv3 are daily trainers after all - whats the vs btwn them?
They are different foams with different experiences to them. The 1080 is a bouncy all-rounder. The Rebel is a daily trainer that can be used for light workouts too
@@kofuzi thanks!
ID on jacket? Ty!
How about NB880v14?
That’s a quick disclosure 😅
people complain about how long it is and how much time it takes
What is the difference between FuelCell and Fresh Foam ?
Fuelcell is their speedy foam. Not necessarily Peba but it's light and springy. Fresh Foam is specialized EVA but softer cushioning for daily training and recovery shoes. If you know Adidas, Fuelcell = Lightstrike Pro and Fresh Foam = Lightstrike 2.0
Nb or triumph 20?
hi kofuzi i'm from vietnam, i really love your videos, please tell me if NB 1080v13 is better than novablast 4, i want to replace my daily trainer
They’re both great. I know I have a preference. But for you, I think it depends on what kinds of shoes you like
@@kofuzi thank you
which one would you choose Rebel v4 or 1080 v13?
I feel like the shoes have slightly different use cases, so it would depend on what else a person has in their rotation and what they prefer.
But since the question specifically asks which shoe I’d prefer, I’d say Rebel.
How are these for the gym?
If by gym, you mean weightlifting, I typically recommend against any running shoe for gym
4 months later and I was hoping for more awesome colorways.
I've personally seen some of the next round of colorways, and I thought they were supposed to be winter releases. but I haven't seen them on the web yet
@@kofuzi anything resembling verde, preferably darker than the NYC version (which I have)
Dream shoe 😢
Is this one of those shoes that ruins other shoes?
🥇
Between the 1080 v13 and the newest generation of Hokas, the 1080 is more comfortable than any of their comfort shoes. The new generation of Bondi feels more like a clunky Nike; the “nik-ification” of hoka has made me sad.
Mach 6 will pk 1080v13
