New Balance FuelCell V3 - Black and White First, the New Balance FuelCell V3 - Black and White takes New Balance's most advanced racing technology and removes every distraction. Black on nitrogen-infused FuelCell foam and carbon plate — the racing shoe for athletes who know exactly why they're at the start line. Additionally, this is the FuelCell for competitors who show up with a time in mind and the preparation to execute it. Focus over visibility. FuelCell (Nitrogen-Infused) + Carbon Plate: New Balance Racing Technology Additionally, fuelCell foam is nitrogen-infused — a process that creates a lighter, more responsive foam cell structure than standard EVA. The result is a midsole that returns energy with a snap that builds across marathon distance. The full-length carbon fiber plate amplifies that return, creating a propulsion system that rewards runners who push consistently from start to finish. Engineered mesh upper: lightweight race fit. Rubber outsole. 215 g. 6 mm drop. 38 mm heel stack. New Balance's most technically advanced racing platform. For Who? For New Balance runners targeting marathon and half-marathon PRs. Best for athletes with race-shoe experience who know their goal pace.
