New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 New York Edition Men's Running Shoes
The FuelCell SC Elite v5 is a race-day shoe designed for the moments when seconds really do count. The propulsive feeling of FuelCell is combined with a thinner carbon fibre plate, offering superior energy return in a lightweight package. Designed for the TCS New York City Marathon featuring official race branding.
Single Layer Mesh Upper
Constructed with FANTOMFIT, the single-layer mesh upper of the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 provides a comfortable fit and exceptional breathability. It locks down the foot for a secure feel, ensuring confident strides on race day. Intolerable heat build-up can escape through the mesh and is then replaced with cool, fresh air, which circulates the shoe to keep your feet feeling cool, dry and comfortable. The tongue and collar have been engineered to provide a comfortable, natural feel, transitioning from training to racing shoes. A traditional lacing system locks down the midfoot for a secure and stable ride. Finishing the look of the shoes and coinciding with the New York Marathon, the SC Elite v5 New York Edition features official race branding, so you can strive towards your best performance yet, or show your support for this incredible running event.
FuelCell Midsole
Years of research have gone into perfecting the SuperComp Elite, containing a FuelCell midsole that has been made with 100% PEBA foam. The FuelCell midsole compound is a nitrogen-infused foam that cushions, provides springy rebounds and delivers long-lasting performance. The midsole 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 total energy returned. The fine-tuned Carbon fibre plate offers increased stiffness in the forefoot, offering a feeling of propulsion from one stride to the next.
Solid Rubber Outsole
Finishing up the Fuelcell SuperComp Elite v5 is a new outsole material that provides superior traction and durability, coming in at approximately 1.7mm thick. The lightweight rubber compound won't weigh you down on race day, so you can push harder and reach your goals. With added durability, the outsole protects the midsole cushioning every 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.
