New Balance Hanzo S v2 Running Shoes
As the choice racing flat for Team NB elite road racers, the NB Hanzo S provides the most aggressive ride. Continuing with the proven underfoot feel of its predecessor, the Hanzo S v2 competitive running shoe features an updated upper. Plus, an external 3D screen print through the midfoot offers dynamic support that's ideal performance from 5k to 26.2.
FantomFit Upper
FantomFit uppers will encase each foot in streamlined comfort. Lightweight synthetic engineered mesh is fused with a thicker, supportive synthetic layer to create feathery, ventilated support. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to win in. Suede overlays adorn the mesh vamp to increase its durability, while the midfoot utilises special selective-melting material to produce a lightweight midfoot structure. FantomFit technology unites with a padded tongue and collar to provide complete lockdown, helping to anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. The no-sew material application means reduced layers, bulk and weight, plus a minimised risk of rubbing and blisters; because we know how those can ruin your day.
REVlite Midsole
REVlite resides underfoot to provide smooth underfoot cushion and comfort. Lightweight (30% lighter than other New Balance foams) and resilient, it spares your joints as you sprint down onto hard, unforgiving concrete. A touch of Rapid Rebound in the forefoot means increased energy-return; 17% more responsive than traditional New Balance performance foams, it reduces the use of superfluous muscle power to keep you motivated for longer. It's this blend of two technologies that creates the sought after spring, stability and protection found in the Hanzo S v2 racing shoes.
Lightweight Outsole
A TPU midfoot shank bridges the forefoot and rearfoot to improve torsional rigidity, diminishing the risk of injury while creating a stiff and stable platform of propulsion to infuse every stride with energy. Sticky DYNARIDE covers the forefoot, supplying tenacious grip for traction along tight turns, while durable rubber zones make up the rest of the outsole, resisting the traumas of heel-strike and toe-off to provide you with a reliable and long-lasting race buddy. The Hanzo's 4 mm drop encourages forefoot strike to produce maximum propulsion. For the athletes who crave snappy responsiveness and durable cushioning in one smooth, lightweight package, choose the New Balance Hanzo S v2.
