Engineered to Make A Difference
Powered by our NRG™ and Hytrel® super foam combo and a high performance XPS+ Pebax® full-foot plate, the new Motion 12 brings a new level of cushioning and energy return to help you run farther, faster and feel less fatigue.
And constructed of the most durable recycled materials that remove 4+ water bottles from the waste chain and formulated to biodegrade faster than standard shoes, it's crafted for today's run with tomorrow in mind.
What Makes Newton Unique?
Enhanced Cushion
The new midsole formulation of next gen NRG™ and Hytrel® foams combine to deliver outstanding impact absorption and rebound compared to other forms, while improving on the legendary responsiveness and durability the Gravity is known for.
Elevated Comfort
The highly breathable seamless air mesh is designed specifically to the anatomical structure of a man's foot to optimize the interaction between foot and shoe and make you more comfortable, secure, and positioned for the best possible performance. And with the revolutionary new Hytrel super foam footbed to enhance cushioning and responsiveness, you'll be traveling at light speed in unmatched comfort.
Evolved Performance
The XPS+ plating system is a new evolution to our Action Reaction Technology™, the secret sauce powering Newton. Generated by the active movement of the lugs in/out of the midsole, it creates a springy cushioning system that provides a quicker bounce back with less energy loss than typical running shoes.
What Our Runners Think
Best running shoes
Great shoes. The Motion shoes are the best for studio workout. I have bad feet caused by bunions. Newton shoes are the best ones for me, especially Motion 12. Very good customer’s services.
I love all my Newton shoes but really love some of the old colors - particularly the Tangerine/Pink and citron for the Gravity shoes. I still wear my old tangerine/pink ones as walking shoes (e.g., to the airport and such) and every single time I have worn them to the airport I have gotten at least one person commenting that my shoes are so cool and asking me what brand they are!
I have been running and racing in Newtons since the early days, and went from favoring Kismet to Motion. Gen 12 feels like between the two supportive shoes, less material than earlier versions, still same good support. It is familiar and comfortable right out of the box, the spring “POP” in the step is quite noticeable (compared to the spent shoe that I am replacing with this version). While Motion used to be only the distance training shoe for me, now it is my everyday running shoe, due to changes on Kismet.
I wish Kismet would return to the minimal forefoot of much earlier versions, there is hardly a distinction between the two any more. And I also wish Newton would return to striking and fun color combos, especially for women, hot pinks, neon yellows, sign orange. The recent color palettes are awful. Who makes these decisions and why? The raspberry spray looks like running through a murder scene. The dark blue with gold is so boring. Please bring back colors!
They fit my foot very well. I need a roomy toe box with a regular width. They are comfortable enough to make me forget I'm wearing a shoe. My run is comfortable and effortless. The Motion has never let me down. I've been wearing Newton running shoes since November 2011 and have loved every mile!
