Features
Run your fastest times yet in the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4.
This carbon-plated racing shoe will help you break PRs and blow past the competition. It is super lightweight, responsive and ready to propel you to the finish line. A brand new upper consists of two layers of engineered mesh, which allows the shoe to be featherlight while still reinforcing key zones for a locked down fit. Our reviewers praised this new upper during their speed workouts in our New Balance FuelCell SC Elite v4 review.
Details
- Upper: A lightweight upper mesh and tongue gives you comfort for 26.2 miles and prevents irritation.
- Midsole: A new FuelCell PEBA-based cushioning gives you plenty of cushion and bounce, while a thin carbon plate shaves weight while maintaining the stiffness needed to propel you towards the finish line.

The best
I’ve tried every carbon plated shoe, multiple marathons. these are the absolute best. Wide toe box, no foot pain at all during or after the race. No blisters, just perfect cushion without too much bulk or drop. Finally, a carbon plate shoe without feeling like I’m walking on unstable stilts.

This shoe is a YES from me..
Got these shoes a few weeks ago and I love the way they feel.. the cushion responsiveness speed are incredible.. I will say my only complaint is the tongue is too thin and to short. But my first run with these I set a personal PR in the 5k by 2:50 and a personal PR in the 10k by 2:25!! I’m sold! And when fleet Feet get the Rebel v4 I’ll grab those too!
