ENCAP®: New Balance ENCAP® technology gives you great cushioning for running and walking around town. The combination of flexible and soft EVA foam in the insole along with soft polyurethane on the bottom of the outsole spares your joints and ligaments, so you'll enjoy superior comfort and stability with every step.

N-ergy cushioning: N-ergy cushioning is a technology developed by New Balance. It uses a responsive thermoplastic gel that provides excellent shock absorption and a flexible return, making it ideal for sports activities. Unlike traditional foam-based cushioning, N-ergy does not contain air cells, allowing for a quick return to its original state after compression. This technology provides a smooth transition from heel to midfoot and helps distribute shock effectively.

Ndurance®: Technology combines carbon fiber with rubber in the heel of the outsole for maximum durability and wear resistance.
