Super fast, super pretty

Race day means everything to us results orientated saffas, it's in our blood. Yes we love to train and run in social groups but come race day our fields are stacked deep and most are there with a desire to go as fast as possible.

On the day what you eat & drink, where to park, warm up, etc takes precedence over kit choices. You want your race kit laid out the night before - every item, as light, clean and sweet looking as you can afford.  

Here's a shoe that safely ticks each of these boxes.

The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite V4, at just 230 grams despite a barely legal stack height of 40mm, is the brand's pinnacle racing model. With the Energy Arc system in particular offering a signature take on the carbon fiber plate, comfortable previous models have proved extremely popular.

What's even better is the super cool new Cyber Jade colourway. Perhaps we're biased by Italian bike brands and rare gemstone bling but aesthetically this has to be the freshest fast flavoured shoe on the block right now.  New Balance say that years of research went into perfecting the SuperComp Elite.

A FuelCell PEBA midsole where the unique Energy Arc pairs a sport-specific carbon fiber plate geometry with strategic midsole voids was designed to increase stored energy to deliver a maximal amount of total energy returned to the runner.

The FantomFit lightweight breathable upper offers ultra-light, bonded support. The rocker profile delivers a smooth, natural feeling transition from heel to toe with the solid rubber outsole. 

This is not just a running shoe, it's a head turning, quietly underfoot performance delivering, racing shoe - for when seconds really do count.
