{"product_id":"new-balance-fresh-foam-x-more-v5-blue-agate","title":"New Balance Fresh Foam x More v5 Blue Agate","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Released on 23 July 2024 and part of the Fresh Foam X More v5 line. This release has a mesh upper in Blue Agate\/Quarry Blue\/Silver Metallic. New Balance's reputation for comfort is not marketing, it is the founding business. William J Riley started the company in 1906 making arch supports for people who stood all day, and the maximum cushioning end of the running range is the most direct modern descendant of that idea. The More is the brand's biggest, softest platform, built for people who want as much material as possible between the foot and the road. The fifth version arrives in Blue Agate, a mineral blue with grey depth in it rather than a bright sports blue, which suits a shoe whose entire job is calm. It is a running shoe designed around comfort rather than around speed, and it looks like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fresh Foam is the relevant technology, a proprietary EVA blend introduced in 2014, moulded as a single piece and tuned zonally so that cushioning and support are placed exactly where the foot needs them rather than spread uniformly. On a maximum cushioning shoe that zonal approach is what stops a tall soft platform from feeling vague underfoot. The blue agate upper keeps the visual weight down on a shoe that carries a lot of midsole, and mid tone blues hide road dust better than either black or white. New Balance's multiple width fittings, its oldest technical promise, matter enormously on a high stack shoe, where a poor width makes the platform feel unstable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUtility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Use one: long slow runs and recovery days on road and pavement, with technical socks, where the deep platform does the job it was designed for. Use two: travel, long shifts on your feet and walking days, which is where a maximum cushioning trainer beats any lifestyle sneaker. Avoid uneven trail and gravel, since a tall soft midsole is less stable on broken ground. Rotate with a firmer shoe so your feet keep some variety, remove insoles to dry after wet runs, and never machine wash or tumble dry. Retire them when the ride flattens rather than when the upper still looks presentable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfluence\u003c\/strong\u003e: The 990 family became the archetypal American dad shoe, worn for comfort rather than status, and while normcore and high fashion later turned that plainness into a design position, the underlying truth never changed: this is the brand people buy when their feet hurt. Maximum cushioning running shoes are where that reputation is literally true. New Balance's long standing sponsorship of New York Road Runners keeps it anchored in the amateur running community rather than in celebrity sport, and a shoe like this belongs to that world, worn by people logging steady mileage and standing all day rather than chasing a podium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Balance","offers":[{"title":"UK10.5 \/ 18-20 Days","offer_id":49458957582574,"sku":"GOATNEWATE502-UK10.5-18-20D","price":30567.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK11 \/ 18-20 Days","offer_id":49458957615342,"sku":"GOATNEWATE502-UK11-18-20D","price":51068.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK11.5 \/ 18-20 Days","offer_id":49458957648110,"sku":"GOATNEWATE502-UK11.5-18-20D","price":51068.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK8 \/ 18-20 Days","offer_id":49458957680878,"sku":"GOATNEWATE502-UK8-18-20D","price":44523.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/0320\/9198\/files\/1456210_00_png.png?v=1787294745","url":"https:\/\/hype-collective.com\/products\/new-balance-fresh-foam-x-more-v5-blue-agate","provider":"Hype Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
