Fresh Foam X 860 v15

StabilityReleased 2026-04-01MY

Fresh Foam X 860 v15 is a stability daily trainer for consistent mileage and long road runs. Its highly cushioned Fresh Foam X platform works with Stability Plane guidance that avoids a traditional medial post, preserving softness while adding support. A gentle rocker promotes smooth transitions, while the breathable synthetic-mesh upper secures the fit and a blown-rubber outsole supplies durability and traction.

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The registered 344 g men's value was previously verified on New Balance Japan and US product pages. On August 17, 2026, those pages no longer reproduced 344 g: the currently selected US official style showed 331 g and the exact Running Warehouse page showed 335 g. Preserve 344 g as historical evidence while the style or specification difference remains unresolved.
Plate note
No carbon plate is stated in checked New Balance official sources; model is built around Fresh Foam X and Stability Plane support.
