A Race-Day Shoe Like No Other
Race day brings a special kind of energy — the kind that makes every stride feel electric. The FuelCell SC Elite v5 has been engineered to harness that feeling, giving you the confidence to run your best when it matters most.
British Olympic gold medallist and New Balance athlete Alex Yee played a key role in testing and refining this shoe. He wore the SC Elite v5 during his marathon debut at the 2025 TCS London Marathon, clocking an outstanding 2:11:08. His feedback during development has helped make the v5 the most refined and responsive version yet.
Redesigned Upper
The SuperComp Elite v5 focuses on keeping weight to a minimum — coming in at just 214g (men’s UK 9.5) — while delivering a snug, race-ready fit.
The updated tongue and collar feel soft and secure, making it easy to transition from your daily trainers to this high-performance racer.
FuelCell Midsole
New Balance’s premium PEBA-based FuelCell foam delivers maximum energy return and cushioning without compromise. Combined with a more rigid carbon fibre plate in the forefoot, the SC Elite v5 offers a smooth yet powerful toe-off that helps you maintain your pace over the full marathon distance.
Upgraded Outsole
The outsole now features a new, lightweight rubber compound designed for better grip and durability, so you can tackle corners and changing surfaces with confidence — even at top speed.
Coming Soon to Running Bear
The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 will arrive at Running Bear this August. If you’re aiming for a personal best this season, this is the shoe to take you there.
