This revolutionary silhouette embodies the dedication to innovation and craft at the core of both brands. Stone Island's legacy of textile innovations is reflected in the shoe's upper construction, which combines synthetic materials and cotton into a single knit, for a versatile, forward-thinking expression of the knit uppers favored in contemporary running shoe design. A full-length FuelCell midsole and carbon fiber plate demonstrates New Balance's cutting-edge performance technology. These artistic and functional attributes converge, like never before, through the conceptual design of the Tokyo Design Studio. The exaggerated design elements, featuring an outsole that extends beyond the heel of the shoe, are more than an aesthetic touch, with the added weight providing a counterbalance to the toe push-off, energy returning feeling of FuelCell. The debut FuelCell C_1 colorway utilizes color palette and camouflage pattern inspired by archival Stone Island garments.
