The New Balance 608v5 is the newest generation of this classic trainer, made as slip-resistant athletic footwear for men. It has a leather upper and an enhanced ABZORB heel pad for cushioning. Flex grooves across the outsole add flexibility.
The midsole combines ABZORB, which absorbs impact through cushioning and compression resistance, with IMEVA (injection-molded EVA foam) for firm yet flexible cushioning. An internal midsole shank adds midfoot structure and support. A polyurethane insert provides cushioning for all-day comfort.
The slip-resistant outsole properties are tested according to ASTM F2913 for traction on various surface conditions. The shoe is intended for long hours of work, day or night.
