This highly responsive trainer has a performance fit and was developed for runners seeking premium cushioning and a moderate level of stability—stability built into the shoe from the ground up. The 860v2, the second generation of the popular New Balance 860 stability trainer, gives serious runners an edge with a dual density medial post, ACTEVA Lite midsole, lightweight airmesh upper, plus ABZORB® in the forefoot and advanced N-ergy® cushioning in the heel. This exceptional shoe was named "Editor's Choice" in the December 2011 issue of Runner's World. This version of the 860v2 is a shopnewbalance.com online exclusive.
