I'm so happy with the 6mm drop, is the right direction!

Have you found that with the thinner mesh, the shoe leaks?

[DarkPaadin]

Which is softer or cushier? More v4 or 1080v13?

I've been waiting for this shoe, but the blue colorway since this spring.

How’s the stability? I often struggle with the NB foams.

I dont like theres forefoot rocker geometry with pretty rigid sole in almost every new shoe. I like to get my feet working and strengthening. What do you think about that DOR team? Appreciate your work! 😊

You say it's not a knit upper anymore but a mesh. And then you say the knit in the toe box stretches. So is the toe box an knit upper?

[Burps___]

I adore the 1080s…that rocker is ideal! 👟

I loved the beacon as well. I bought 3 from Joe's for 39.99 on last one😢

[Kaisersozze]

This or the Triumph 20/21 in terms of softness and bounciness/energy return?

[i.p]

I know that we have the same feet so if you are happy I am happy.. Regarding the drop. In shoes like the Alphafly V1 and 1080V12 (previous model) I feel like I am in zero drop. How does the 1080V13 feel?

[Frichilsasta]

What was the new balance beacon like? Not a new balance guy

[christiankeil]

You don't need to show the shoe if the focus is only on your face

[andresgroove]

Not for me really, .. design disappointed this time .. hugely. Still the v12 the best one for me.

It’s not supposed to be a beacon replacement lol 😂
