The FuelCell SC Elite is built for race day, when every second makes a difference.

No one knows that more than New Balance Athlete and world champion Alex Yee. The updated FuelCell SC Elite was developed through years of research. Yee provided insights throughout the process, seeing our most advanced race shoe to date through rounds of testing, even wearing the model while training for and during the 2025 TCS London Marathon. “The FuelCell SC Elite feels super responsive and allows me to roll through my stride naturally, efficiently, and quickly.” – Alex Yee

Many shoes will have a very similar profile yet perform differently for different people. We recommend an in-store fitting for a new style and online for the 'tried and true'.
