New Balance's lifestyle division turns their eye to the brand's running division for a little change of pace.

Dubbed the 1080 'utility' what we get is a combination of new-world performance tech with a touch of NB tradition through the addition of premium suede overlays.  This combined with a neutral colour palette gives this on-road runner a completely different attitude, allowing it to sit in that small space between performance and casual—a feature which made the original 990 series so timeless.
