Features
Run your fastest times yet in the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 NYC.
This carbon-plated racing shoe will help you break PRs and blow past the competition. It is super lightweight, responsive and ready to propel you to the finish line. A brand new upper consists of two layers of engineered mesh, which allows the shoe to be featherlight while still reinforcing key zones for a locked down fit. Our reviewers praised this new upper during their speed workouts in our New Balance FuelCell SC Elite v4 review.
Details
- Upper: A lightweight upper mesh and tongue gives you comfort for 26.2 miles and prevents irritation.
- Midsole: A new FuelCell PEBA-based cushioning gives you plenty of cushion and bounce, while a thin carbon plate shaves weight while maintaining the stiffness needed to propel you towards the finish line.
