I'm 33, looking to break 18-minute 5K. I currently wear a New Balance 860 for everything but was wondering if switching to a lighter, faster shoe would help. I have a very mild overpronation in one foot and even milder one in the other. I would prefer New Balance. Thank you.
im 6'2' 170. I have been racing 5Ks in the 17:30-18:15s range this last year with the New Balance 1400s, but if you need support maybe look at the 1500s.
They are a great lighter weight shoe that doesn't feel like I am beating the crap out of my feet. My only complaint is sometimes I will get a rock stuck in a spot in the middle of shoe.

Go to a running store and try on several different brands and models. Your preference for New Balance is nothing but a feeling as all shoes are so different from brand to brand and model to model. You might miss out on something great in another shoe. Both of my kids (one in college, one in high school) wear training shoes that are a different brand from the spikes they race in.
Why not continue to train in the New Balance shoes you like and then find a racing flat for races?
Again, you might land on New Balance, but you should open your mind to other possibilities.
