About

New Balance FuelCell

FuelCell is New Balance’s speed division. Where the brand mainly owes its name to comfortable classics, this label stands for the opposite: foam that rebounds as strongly as possible, meant to return energy rather than just absorb the impact. The line therefore serves the side of running that’s about times.

The technology lies in the composition of the foam. It is softer and more springy than the material in the brand’s everyday trainers, and in the race models it’s combined with a carbon plate that makes the toe-off stiffer. You recognize the line by the name printed large on the midsole and by the substantial, outward-flaring sole shape.

The family has now branched widely. There are marathon models with a plate, faster training shoes without a plate, and even strength-training versions that carry the name. Those looking for the best-known member come to the New Balance FuelCell Rebel, the light trainer that made the line known outside the racing world.

That New Balance showcases its technology here fits the path the brand has taken: from classic running shoes with a grey reputation to a brand that counts on the track and on the street. The full brand picture is on the page of the New Balance Fresh Foam, the softer cushioning family alongside it.
