Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The 1080 v15 uses soft Infinion cushioning to make everyday road mileage, recovery runs and longer easy outings comfortable. Its appeal is strongest for runners who enjoy a yielding underfoot sensation and want that feeling throughout their regular training. The same softness can make the ride feel unstable, so it may not suit those who prefer firmer control. Fit is generally reliable, and the broad selection of widths provides useful options, although finding the right upper fit will not change the character of the cushioning.
