Sportswear giant New Balance has unveiled the all-new Ellipse, a daily running shoe designed to make every run feel like the best part of your day.
Created for runners of all abilities, from beginners building confidence to experienced athletes logging recovery miles, the Ellipse focuses on comfort, enjoyment and consistency rather than chasing personal bests. The launch marks one of New Balance’s most significant additions to its running range in over a decade.
Designed for Everyday Miles
The Ellipse has been engineered around New Balance’s renowned Fresh Foam X midsole technology, delivering plush cushioning, shock absorption and a responsive ride underfoot. The shoe also features a rocker-inspired geometry that helps create smoother transitions throughout each stride.
According to New Balance, the aim is simple: create a running shoe that allows runners to focus less on pace, data and performance metrics and more on enjoying the experience of running.
The breathable engineered mesh upper, cushioned tongue and comfortable fit make the Ellipse suitable for daily training, recovery runs and casual mileage alike.
Gabby Thomas Collaboration Brings a Stylish New Colourway
Alongside the launch, New Balance has revealed a special-edition Ellipse x Gabby Thomas colourway.
The design was created in collaboration with Olympic track-and-field star Gabby Thomas and arrives in a stylish Lone Star Grey with Stone Pink finish.
Priced at £130, the limited-edition shoe combines performance-focused technology with a fashion-forward aesthetic, reflecting Thomas’ influence both on and off the track.
Thomas joins a growing roster of athletes and cultural figures helping to introduce the Ellipse to runners worldwide.

A New Approach to Running
Rather than focusing on race-day speed, the Ellipse has been designed to encourage runners to enjoy the process itself. New Balance describes the shoe as helping runners “lose track of time” while running, creating a more mindful and enjoyable experience.
Early reviews have praised the shoe’s soft cushioning, bounce and versatility, with many comparing it to premium comfort-focused trainers while noting its approachable price point.
