NB 5280 was specific to the road mile. Fastest think I've ever had on.
^^^^^ This - I am wearing these again for a road mile race this Wednesday evening - They feel very awkward when warming up, but get the job done when racing (4.5 oz and a plate with just enough cushioning to not make it uncomfortable when hitting pavement. The only downside is you really need to land at least on your midfoot.
Did New Balance discontinue the 5280? I was thinking about picking up a pair in Spring 2020 but then covid came along and now I can’t find them anywhere.
Just a suggestion Google search NB5280 then click the 'shopping' tab.
There may be a few pairs out there still. Even a used pair may be an option. I know mine have four road miles and some track stride workouts on them. They are basically like new and hopefully will be able to use them for several more years.
