FuelCell technology and carbon plate for energy return

At the heart of the New Balance FuelCell RC Elite v2 Tokyo Design Studio Grey Vetiver is the perfect combination of **FuelCell midsole** and **carbon plate**. This duo offers an **explosive energy return** and a stable stride when you increase the pace.

If you’re looking for a shoe for fast intervals, tempo, and competition, the result is clear: more efficiency in every stride, without sacrificing stability on long supports.

Fit, breathable mesh, and foot feel

The upper uses a **lightweight and breathable mesh** that wraps the foot with a secure fit. This prevents unnecessary movement when running fast and keeps ventilation during demanding sessions.

How they feel when you put them on

The combination of reactive cushioning and snug fit creates a feeling of control. Perfect for athletes who want to feel the ground but with extra propulsion in every run.

High-traction sole: grip on asphalt

The sole incorporates a high-traction compound designed for asphalt, offering **efficient grip** both on straight lines and curves at high pace. Less slipping, more confidence in every acceleration.

Who are these shoes for? (high-performance running shoes)

Ideal for runners who train speed and compete: middle-distance athletes, recreational runners looking to improve times, and anyone who wants a racing shoe with an urban aesthetic. If your training includes intervals, fartlek, or tempo days, these shoes boost your performance.

Tokyo Style: how to wear them off the pavement (urban fashion)

The Tokyo-inspired design makes them a versatile piece: pair them with joggers and a technical jacket for an athleisure look or with running shorts for training. They are an aesthetic and functional statement.

Usage tips: how to get the most out of them

Use these shoes for your key sessions: intervals, pace runs, and target races. Alternate with a more cushioned model on long runs to preserve the carbon plate's integrity and extend the compound's lifespan.

Care and maintenance

Clean them with a damp cloth and avoid drying them in direct sunlight. Check the sole's condition after intense kilometers if you run on abrasive surfaces.
