Head out for a run or hit the gym in the MX8517 trainer from New Balance. This overlasted training shoe delivers style, support, and a responsive ride. The latest NB Zip cushioning technology turns impact into energy so you can train longer, while ultra-lightweight Acteva Lite foam -- 24 percent lighter than standard foam -- in the midsole makes you feel lightning-fast. The N-Durance outsole provides maximum durability in high-wearing areas. Product features include: Synthetic/mesh upper.

Comments about New Balance MX8517BK-ZIP:

Best gym shoe I've ever had. You could also..well, I won't go that far..ha,ha!..wing it at a club for its silvery finish. It's not that flashy due to the black shades that mitigates it somewhat. Overall, perfect for my size: 10, borderline medium/EE.

A new look for New Balance. These shoes have a newer, trim look and styling details I've not seen in NB before. Good support too.

I like this product, at first I though that the with of the shoe was really narrow and leter on it got the way I wanted. I where the shoes to the gym to exercise. I could train for a l;ong time and not get tired.

Comments about New Balance MX8517BK-ZIP:

I have had about 10 pair of NB's, none costing more than [$], and all have been great. After paying [$] for these, I am disappointed. I thought if the cheap one's are great, these would be awsome. Not the case. They feel like cheap skater shoes when you run!!!!!!!!!!!!!
