What we say:

The New Balance Breeze v2, as expected, is very similar to its predecessor, the original NB Breeze. However, there are plenty of differences as well. First of all, it looks better. The original Breeze looked pretty cool, but this one is even better. It's such a cool mix of sport and casual styles. Because of this casual, sporty look, its comfort and its versatile traction, the NB Breeze v2 looks and feels great both on and off the links. It was designed to be more of a summer golf shoe, with its mesh upper providing plenty of breathability. While the Breeze v2 is water-resistant, this isn't enough to fend of more than some dew in the morning. We found the Breeze v2 to be more supportive than the original Breeze, which definitely increased its rating. All of this solid performance comes it at very, very affordable price. We recommend the New Balance Breeze v2 for those on a budget who demand breathable comfort and durability.
