Designed for runners who demand the most from their gear, this shoe is engineered to provide an incredibly soft underfoot experience without compromising on stability or support. Whether you are tackling a long-distance run, hitting the gym for a cardio session, or simply on your feet all day, the Fresh Foam X More V5 is your go-to solution for superior cushioning. The striking White/Reflection/Silver Metallic colorway adds a modern aesthetic to your athletic wardrobe, ensuring you look as good as you feel.

Innovative Fresh Foam X Midsole

At the core of the Fresh Foam X More V5 is our most advanced cushioning technology to date. The Fresh Foam X midsole is meticulously designed to deliver our softest ride yet, offering approximately 3% bio-based content. This innovative material is derived from renewable resources, helping to reduce our carbon footprint while still providing peak performance. The midsole is data-driven to place foam exactly where you need it most, ensuring a smooth heel-to-toe transition. This incredible comfort absorbs impact efficiently, protecting your joints and allowing you to run farther with less fatigue.

Breathable Engineered Mesh

Comfort is not just about what is under your foot; it is also about what wraps around it. The upper of the Fresh Foam X More V5 features engineered mesh that enhances breathability, keeping your feet cool and dry even during intense workouts. This material is lightweight and flexible, adapting to the natural shape and movement of your foot. Despite its airy construction, the mesh provides a structured, supportive fit that locks your foot in place, preventing unwanted slippage and ensuring a secure ride from start to finish.

Customizable Fit and Wide Width Option

A great run starts with the perfect fit. This model features an adjustable lace closure system that allows you to customize the tightness to your exact preference, ensuring a snug and personalized feel. Recognizing that every foot is unique, this specific version is available in a 12 Wide width. This wide option offers a generous fit in the toe box and midfoot, accommodating runners who need extra space or have wider feet. It alleviates pressure points and provides the room necessary for natural toe splay, enhancing overall comfort and stability.

Low-Profile Design and Styling

The shoe is built with a 4 mm drop. Due to variances created during the development and manufacturing processes, all references to the 4 mm drop are approximate. This lower drop encourages a more natural foot position, which is preferred by many runners seeking a closer connection to the ground. The aesthetics are completed by the Reflection and Silver Metallic accents, which not only look sharp but also add an element of visibility in low-light conditions, increasing your safety during early morning or evening runs.
