Men's New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2

Bringing Race Day Energy To Every Run

The New Balance Fuel Cell SuperComp Trainer v2 is the sequel to the high-cushion trainer we all fell in love with. Designed with cutting-edge shoe technology, this super trainer has all the tools to help maximize performance in your daily training.

Taking a look at what’s new, the SuperComp v2 upper has been completely revamped to give it a slightly more traditional feel. Made with an engineered mesh, the upper has a little more structure and padding to it, especially around the heel collar. Previous mentions of rubbing around the ankle seem to have been mitigated with this new upper design.

Moving down the shoe we’re seeing two layers of New Balance FuelCell midsole foam underfoot. The FuelCell foam formula is always being refined over time and this version is a prime example as it’s even lighter than its predecessor. Sandwiched between the two layers of FuelCell is the EnergyArc carbon-fiber plate, providing you with a propulsive and smooth ride. Another update is the overall stack height of the SuperComp Trainer v2 has been taken down a bit from 47 mm to 40 mm. With this midsole update, New Balance was able to shave off over an ounce in weight, so you can enjoy maximum cushion without feeling weighted down.

New Balance had to make sure the SuperComp Trainer could handle a large amount of mileage so next we’re looking at the outsole. This version utilizes strategically placed, highly durable rubber along the outsole to extend the longevity of this running shoe.
