With the 860 v4 running shoe, New Balance introduces for the first time a combination stitched and no-sew upper utilizing a series of smart technologies working in concert to bring crucial stability without sacrificing comfort and fit. The stability comes from T-Beam engineering, while the ABZORB® crash pad and cushy ACTEVA® LITE midsole combine to provide supreme comfort. The 860v4 also features an Ndurance rubber outsole to stand up to wear and tear.
