New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 "Urgent Red" MRCELLR5

The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 in “Urgent Red” comes built for speed, right from the first glance. The upper keeps things stripped back and race-focused—engineered mesh cuts down weight while keeping airflow high. Its sharp silhouette hugs the foot, giving that snug race-day feel without sacrificing comfort.

The bright red splash across the sculpted midsole doesn’t just add flair. It signals the business underneath. New Balance combines a full-length PEBA-based FuelCell foam with a visible Energy Arc carbon plate. That pairing delivers serious propulsion with every toe-off. Each stride feels tuned to get you closer to the finish line—whether you’re chasing a PB or breaking through your longest run yet.

Unlike the Rebel or Trainer versions, the Elite v5 trims off anything non-essential. Every feature answers the same question: will this help on race day? The answer sits in the ride—snappy, smooth, and consistent across pace changes. The outsole grips well even in wet conditions, and the midsole rebounds quickly without bottoming out.

This isn’t just another red shoe made to look quick. The SuperComp Elite v5 in “Urgent Red” carries all the tech needed to back that up. Best suited for half to full marathon efforts, it slots in as New Balance’s most race-ready silhouette yet. No fluff, no wasted weight—just full focus on performance.
