This special edition of the brands premium cushioned running shoe, the 1080 retains all the great features of the regular model but gets a fresh new coat for the marathon with striking design features.
The shoe retains the same plush ride as previous versions so regulars will be happy. It’s minor tweaks that update the shoe and all prove to make it a little better.
