New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 Women's Running Shoes (D Width)
You shouldn't feel like your shoes are holding you back. That's where the propulsive feeling of FuelCell comes in. The FuelCell SC Elite is a race day-specific execution, featuring a combination of energy return cushioning and carbon fibre plate technology, designed to make the transition from one step to the next feel as smooth as possible.
Breathable Mesh Knit Upper
The FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 features an ultra-lightweight knit upper that delivers breathable race-day comfort without the bulk. This upper ensures that your feet remain cool during long runs by allowing heat, vapour and moisture to escape, while encouraging cool air to circulate so that you can stay focused on hitting your goals without distractions. Designed in a FantomFit upper, the shoes offer ultra-light bonded support to keep you well-supported and protected in your racing endeavours. This provides feet with an irritation-free experience and ensures an ultra-sleek look. Soft padding around the heel collar and a wider toe box ensure all-day comfort, allowing for natural toe flex. A traditional collar construction offers a reliable, lightweight fit with a lace-up closure for a secure fit that locks the foot in place.
FuelCell Midsole
New Balance has put years of research into perfecting the SuperComp Elite v4, containing a FuelCell midsole made with PEBA. The FuelCell midsole compound is a nitrogen-infused foam that cushions, provides springy rebounds and delivers long-lasting performance. Featuring new and improved high-rebound technology, the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 offers a high rebound. With improved FuelCell technology in the forefoot, the FuelCell SC Elite v4 utilises the force of each step, powering you into the next for an energetic, propulsive feel and an ultra-lightweight running experience. The midsole further absorbs the shock and negative impact forces on heel strike, reducing stress and strain on the foot muscles and joints, and reducing the risk of injury. Energy Arc in the midsole pairs sport-specific Carbon fibre plate geometry with strategic midsole voids, designed to increase stored energy and deliver a higher amount of total energy returned. The full-length Carbon fibre plate further increases the bouncy, limitless feel of the shoe, helping you feel unstoppable. Completing the midsole, the rocker profile gives a smooth, natural feeling that transitions from heel to toe.
Solid Rubber Outsole
Finishing up the Fuelcell SuperComp Elite v4 is a lightweight, solid rubber outsole that provides great traction and durability. The lightweight rubber compound won't weigh you down on race day, so you are free to push harder and reach your goals. With added durability, the outsole protects the midsole cushioning with each step during many long races. Lastly, a midfoot cutout further reduces the shoe's weight and provides visibility to the Carbon plate for visual interest.
