BuyPros
- At 6.7 oz it is well below the 8.9 oz median for trail shoes for sale.
- It lists at $124.99, well below the $170 median for trail shoes for sale.
Cons
- At 20mm the heel stack is far below the 36mm median for trail shoes for sale.
- The version before this one dates to 2014, so New Balance left the line alone for a decade.
