Andrew Rizzo Every spring brings a new wave of people resolving to get more active, taking advantage of warmer weather by spending more time outside in the name of self-improvement. Running is a popular choice, with sidewalks finally clear of snow and fresh routes opening up after winter. If thats a goal of yours, New Balance has a new model on deck designed to help you fall in love with the hobby.
Meet the New Balance Ellipse, an all-new running silhouette equipped with Fresh Foam X cushioning and priced at a reasonable $145. In announcing the shoe, New Balance says the Ellipse aims to “restore the beauty of being lost in the run,” promising the freedom, mindfulness, and general euphoria that comes with achieving a runner’s high. An engineered mesh upper rooted in classic New Balance design language keeps the build relatively lightweight, while a cushioned tongue and stretch laces deliver comfort for longer sessions.
