FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4

The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 is a top-tier carbon-plated racing shoe engineered specifically for runners chasing personal bests at the half marathon and marathon distances. Redesigned from the ground up, it is faster, softer, and more cushioned than any previous version — a genuine contender in the most competitive category in running footwear.

The midsole features a reformulated FuelCell foam compound that delivers an ultra-responsive, propulsive ride with every stride. The foam has been tuned for maximum energy return while keeping the overall weight of the shoe impressively low — a balance that is difficult to achieve and immediately noticeable on race day. Paired with the foam is a uniquely bowed carbon fiber plate geometry featuring a strategic midsole void that amplifies energy return even further, acting like a spring that stores and releases energy at exactly the right moment in your gait cycle.

An aggressive toe spring geometry encourages a powerful, forward-driving toe-off that keeps your momentum building throughout the race. Together the foam, plate, and toe spring geometry create a propulsive system that makes fast paces feel more sustainable and slower paces feel almost effortless.

The breathable synthetic mesh upper incorporates New Balance's Fantomfit technology — a precision overlay construction that delivers a secure, locked-in fit that virtually disappears on foot. There is no distraction, no pressure, just a clean and confident feel from the starting gun to the finish line.

For runners who want a world-class racing shoe that delivers speed, cushioning, and responsiveness in equal measure, the SuperComp Elite v4 belongs on your feet.
