New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v15 vs Ten Thousand Interval Short
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v15 takes it — 84 vs 77.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v15 — You coach neutral runners who want a plush daily trainer for easy and long runs that can still handle a steady pace.
- Ten Thousand Interval Short — You want one durable, high-mobility do-everything short and don't mind paying about €80.
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.
Ten Thousand Interval Short
77Score · Medium
from €79.95
A durable, highly mobile do-it-all training short that reviewers rate well — now sold direct to Germany in euros, but at a higher price and with mixed post-sale support.
