A shoe that reminds us they're never too young to run. The New Balance Zip is the perfect shoe for the youngest up-and-coming runner. Appropriately named after New Balance's mechanical Zip cushioning technology, the New Balance Zip offers the youth athlete with a neutral running gait a responsive ride. The heel of this shoe is supported by shock-absorbing struts. ABZORB SBS forefoot is designed to provide optimal shock absorption and no compression set. N-DURANCE outsole features a rubber compound for maximum durability in high-wear areas. Synthetic and mesh upper includes reflective detail for safety.
