New BalanceFresh Foam X More v6
New Balance’s plushest platform yet, the More v6 delivers deep Fresh Foam X cushioning and a smooth rolling geometry built for easy, high-comfort mileage.
Light, soft, and endlessly cushioned, it’s the go-to trainer for runners who want maximum feel-good protection in every stride.
Details
The Fresh Foam X More v6 represents the pinnacle of New Balance cushioning, delivering the brand’s softest and most indulgent underfoot experience for high-mileage comfort and effortless recovery runs. Retaining the same plush Fresh Foam X compound as v5, this update sculpts the platform into a sleeker, lighter profile without sacrificing stack height, resulting in a smoother roll and easier turnover for long distances. A gently rockered geometry paired with full-length flex grooves guides each stride forward, creating a seamless heel-to-toe transition that feels calm, pillowy, and endlessly runnable.
The engineered mesh upper has been thoughtfully reworked with enhanced padding through the tongue and collar, offering an improved step-in feel while maintaining breathable, supportive lockdown. Underfoot, a durable rubber outsole delivers reassuring traction and longevity across road conditions, making the More v6 a true comfort-driven companion for everything from relaxed shakeouts to your longest weekly miles.
For runners who crave softness without compromise, the Fresh Foam X More v6 stands ready to elevate recovery days, cushion your workload, and make each mile feel luxuriously light.
