New Balance Suspension System

Because no single technology meets all the needs of every individual, we have developed the New Balance Suspension System ™. This collection of innovative technologies and unique materials provides everything from motion control to shock absorption. Each of our shoes has a number of integrated Suspension System components designed to suit specific foot needs.

Absorb® is the solution for pure cushioning--absorbing shock and displacing energy.

The N-ergy S. C. System has been engineered to provide superior heel cushioning with medial and lateral stability while providing maximum resistance to compression set.

Graphite Rollbar is a biomechanically postioned piece of graphite in the midsole which maximizes rearfoot stability. Rollbar can be combined with a TPU medial and/or lateral post for motion control.

Stability Web delivers superior support in the midfoot while also reducing the overall weight of the shoe.
