New Balance Ellipse First Run: Two runners' first impressions of New Balance's new daily trainer

New Balance has a brand new shoe in its line up. The New Balance Ellipse is a FreshFoamX packing daily miler that New Balance says is designed for easy enjoyment rather than speed. It’s lighter and lower stacked than the 880V15 and the 1080v15 and comes in slightly cheaper to boot. We’ve taken it for some early miles to see if it’s adding something new – and needed – to the daily trainer shelves. Hit play for our New Balance Ellipse first impressions.
