New Balance Test Run

Global athletic leader New Balance is launching ‘Test Run’, a pop-up wear test centre that offers Sydneysiders the chance to experience New Balance’s latest Fresh Foam technology firsthand.

From 15 to 19 April 2021, New Balance will become one of the first major brands to allow the public to run in and experience their new Fresh Foam X v11 shoes before purchasing a pair.

Designed to cushion every step, every trail, every mile, Fresh Foam X is New Balance’s premium collection of ultra-cush, cloud-like running shoes. The Fresh Foam X v11 range has been engineered to help runners go further, providing a versatile and durable shoe.

Throughout the five days, everyone from seasoned running pros to newcomers to sport will be invited to head to the ‘Test Run’ pop-up in Centennial Park so they can trial a pair of the latest New Balance Fresh Foam X v11 shoes while going for a run in the park. 

Upon arrival at the pop-up, friendly New Balance staff will help participants to find their perfect Fresh Foam X v11 fit before inviting them to head out for a run. Whether they’re planning a light 1km jog or a full 5km lap, runners of all fitness levels and abilities are encouraged to visit the pop-up to test out the shoes for themselves.

Each day of the activation, one lucky participant will win their very own pair of New Balance Fresh Foam X v11 shoes, while everyone who visits ‘Test Run’ will receive an exclusive discount code to make their next purchase a little bit sweeter.

Three new models within New Balance’s Fresh Foam X collection – the 1080v11, 880v11 and 860v11 – will be available for the public to trial at ‘Test Run’.
