The New Balance FuelCell SC Elite v4 is designed for runners who want to get the most out of their training and competitions and want to cover many kilometers at a high pace. In the FuelCell SC Elite you run fast times up to and including the marathon, but also long endurance runs at a higher pace. Designed to increase your speed, stability and confidence during every race. Go for gold with this competition shoe! Midsole This shoe has a rocker profile, a curved sole design that provides a smooth feel, stimulates the transition from the midfoot to the forefoot while running and reduces the strain on the calves. By using PEBA foam, a thermoplastic elastomer made from polyether block amide, the midsole of this shoe has a high energy efficiency. Compared to TPU foam, this foam is significantly lighter, offers better energy return and maintains its performance at all temperatures. The carbon plate has a unique geometry that is also called Energy Arc technology. Between the two FuelCell foam layers is a carbon plate that is deformed in two directions. This is an even thinner carbon plate to save weight. A large recess can be seen in the bottom layer, which allows the plate to bounce in and out. This is the optimal combination of soft cushioning and maximum energy return. Upper The FantomFit upper is designed to provide ultralight support and fit. FantomFit is made by fusing two thin materials together without sewing. The heel counter is reinforced and provides a surprising amount of support compared to other racing shoes. The tongue is thin, allowing your feet to breathe. Outsole While running, the shoe offers good grip and traction through the rubber outsole. With the New Balance FuelCell SC Elite v4 you are ready to perform! Experience the perfect balance between speed, comfort and durability.
