KNOW YOUR TECH breaks down the scientific technology used in your favorite sneakers and activewear. Let’s demystify your next purchase: today's technology is New Balance's Phantom Liner. Designed to provide a lightweight, seamless fit, this tech is used on NB running and walking models to provide close-to-the-foot comfort without adding unneeded bulk.
What is it? New Balance Phantom Liner is an internal liner that is engineered with a unique technique that blends unnoticeable seams and seamless panels for comfort. This helps to provide a smooth, continuous surface and prevent irritations and blisters.
How does it work? While sneakers with seams and cut edges have a tendency to create pressure points that can eventually dig into the skin and cause irritation. With New Balance Phantom Liner, the pressure is distributed evenly and safely.
