PositiveAt 150 km there's almost no loss of cushioning and durability looks excellent. The toe mesh lets water in after ~4 km in rain, and with thick socks his feet got heavy from 10 km. It drains well, though.

PositiveSoft cushioning that stays healthy, with the midsole in good shape. The ankle and heel fit is the one weak point: the ankle padding is thin and the heel cup feels loose and unsupportive compared to v13/v14.

PositiveCushioning and rebound in balance, stable without being too soft. Infinion makes it bouncy. Grip is good even on rainy training days. His go-to for jogs and long runs, with the Rebel v5 for workouts. The price is the only concern.
Blog · RunToTheFinish – Amanda Brooks · summarized
PositiveRated 97% and back on their best-cushioned list. The new foam and lighter weight incrementally improve a daily trainer that works for many runners. The upper is a little stiff, and a fuller rubber outsole would help durability.
Blog · Good Housekeeping – Heath Owens · summarized
PositiveA comfy everyday trainer can be your race-day shoe: one pair carried the tester through a full training cycle and the L.A. Marathon. It is more responsive than past versions and holding up well. The soft, high foam isn't for overpronators or supinators.
Runners mostly like the 1080 v15's plush, bouncy and responsive ride, better than the older Fresh Foam. One returned it because the thick upper is not breathable.
