New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2
Features
Maximize your energy for longer with the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2.
The SuperComp Trainer v2 brings that race-day energy to a high-mileage training shoe. It has Energy Arc technology that places a sport-specific carbon fiber plate between two layers of super lightweight FuelCell cushioning, leaving a hollow channel through the middle of the shoe. The plate is flattened into the channel with each foot strike and returns energy as it reshapes to create a rebound-effect and keep you running forward.
The FuelCell midsole foam is lightweight, bouncy and propulsive. It has been reformulated to make it even lighter so you can easily pick up the pace. A re-engineered upper adds structure for support and a breathable flat knit material for a locked-in fit, which our reviewers appreciated in our New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2 review.
Go farther, faster and longer with the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2.

What’s New
New Balance made some improvements with the SuperComp Trainer v2 to make it easier to pick up the pace. They lowered the stack height to make the shoe a bit more stable and re-engineered the FuelCell foam to make it even lighter and bouncier.
They also redesigned the Energy Arc plate technology, narrowing the channel to prevent debris from getting in and making it more stable.
Designers reworked the upper, changing it from a sock-like upper to a more traditionally structured upper that has more padding around the heel and collar along with a gusseted tongue. The new engineered mesh is breathable and provides a great fit.
All of these changes make the shoe about an ounce lighter than the previous version to give you a peppy run.
