If the model number and traditional appeal of the 860 is classic New Balance, the FuelCore Rush v3 is the new New Balance. The company is slowly shifting to model names and product lines that match your running style, not just your footstrike. The FuelCore line includes models designed for responsive cushioning and a fast feel, and the Rush delivers with its springy Revlite sole and ambitious 6 mm offset. Even for one of the most recently updated models from New Balance, “best running shoes” doesn’t have to mean “expensive running shoes”; the FuelCore Rush is a serious neutral trainer for daily running or faster efforts that’s priced like other companies’ budget models.
