The 5th version of New Balance’s max cushioned shoe receives a number of updates aiming to improve on the popular V4. The biggest of those is a new midsole composition using the same soft foam found in the 1080v13 and a slightly increased stack height. To counter the updates there’s a noticeably wide base to ensure plenty of stability in the shoe.
The Saucony Hurricane 24 is a high-stack cushioned running shoe that provides stability through a wide platform and high sidewalls.
The midsole is dual layer, combining the soft, bouncy PWRRUN PB found in some of the brand’s performance shoes and a lower layer of PWRRUN to improve support and durability. Those foams work alongside a rocker design to give a smooth heel-to-toe transition.
