Take your race-day performance to the next level with the NEW BALANCE FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 Mens—an elite-level carbon plate running shoe crafted for serious competitors chasing PBs. Lighter, leaner, and faster than its predecessor, the SC Elite v5 blends a responsive FuelCell PEBA midsole with a strategic carbon-fibre Energy Arc plate for snappy propulsion and enduring comfort. Whether you're lining up for a marathon or pushing pace in a tempo session, this shoe delivers the speed you crave without compromising on lockdown or fit.
Packed with performance tech, the SC Elite v5 features a precision-engineered upper made from single-layer mesh for breathable support and FantomFit construction for a secure feel without added bulk. A gusseted tongue and upgraded heel collar enhance fit and prevent in-run irritation, ensuring you stay focused from start to finish. The redesigned geometry also includes a narrower platform for more aggressive transitions, while the 8mm heel-to-toe drop adds a new level of forward propulsion not seen in previous models.
Underfoot, the outsole has been tuned for grip and efficiency with carefully placed heel rubber pads and triangular forefoot lugs, keeping you steady even on slick surfaces. The firm ride and midfoot stiffness make it ideal for strong runners who appreciate a controlled, race-ready feel. Built for high-stakes competition, the SC Elite v5 is for those who want a stripped-back, focused experience that’s all about maximising race output.
