Our pick 
New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v15
84Score · Medium
from €118
The biggest 1080 update in years: a new supercritical foam makes it lighter, softer and livelier. The forefoot is still narrow and stability is limited.
Saucony Endorphin Speed 4
82Score · Medium
from €125.99
A benchmark nylon-plated super-trainer: light, bouncy and genuinely do-it-all. With the Speed 5 out, the 4 is now a steal at German street prices.
