The FuelCell SC Elite v4 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.
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 those long runs by allowing heat, vapour and moisture to escape, whilst encouraging cool air to circulate so that you can stay focused on hitting your goals without distractions. Soft padding around the heel collar and a wider toe box ensure all-day comfort and allow 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 comfortably.
FuelCell MidsoleNew Balance have 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 to power 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 that have been 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 transition from heel to toe.
Solid Rubber OutsoleFinishing 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 provides protection for the midsole so that every step is cushioned during many long races. Lastly, a midfoot cutout further reduces the weight of the shoe and provides visibility to the Carbon plate for visual interest.
