Fresh Foam X 860 v15

StabilityRelease date 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
Exact Japan and US official construction pages and the Running Warehouse product technology section name Stability Plane, but do not identify its material. Carbon status remains unknown; this does not assert absence of a plate.
