Since 1906, New Balance has presided as a pinnacle achiever within the racing ecosystem. From elite marathon racers to first timers. And New Balance believes that running is about the whole running experience and not just the physical act of running. The Boston brand’s ever-expansive roster of performance-based silhouettes efficiently spans the necessary technology and price point for their diverse market of consumers.

As one of the world’s most accessible sports, New Balance has routinely explored the full breadth of its running catalog with the tried-and-true yearly return of the Fresh Foam X 1080v12 to the banner’s teched-out debuts like the FuelCell SC Elite. Whether you’re knocking out your training regimen for the next competition or taking a daily stroll through the neighborhood, the sportswear behemoth has had decades to craft and test the best performance wear on shelves for any and all occasions.

To kick off the blossoming springtime season and the ensuing calmer weather conditions, we’ve partnered with New Balance to give you an exclusive preview of some of the brand’s best running options for all types of wearers, so you can “Run Your Way.” All styles available now at newbalance.com.

Evolved from the brand’s widely-adorned RC collection, the New Balance FuelCell SC Elite v3 boasts the New England institution’s most innovative racing solution to date, crafted specifically for the dedicated grind of marathon runners. Efficiently packed with the brand’s premier technological components, the carbon-infused runner indulges in an Energy Arc plate underfoot that pairs with the inclusion of a dual-layer FuelCell midsole to deliver instantaneous energy return.

Featuring an innovative bootie upper constructed with a one-piece tongue that forms and locks to your foot, a 4mm heel drop propels the runner forward with each step inside the silhouette weighing in at 8.1 oz. Available in men’s and women’s sizing, the FuelCell SC Elite v3 retails for $229.99 with two colorway options currently available in “White/Victory Blue” and “Bright Mint/Pixel Green.”

If New Balance could only make one silhouette, the brand is lunging towards its lauded 1080 construction. From scheduled 4 am runs to indoor practices, the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 engages in a diverse application of its performance features, anchoring the iconic everyday racing model with the brand’s revolutionary Fresh Foam X cushioning technology.

Fine-tuned with updated midsole mapping for a larger cushioned area, New Balance’s most versatile tooling engages in a Hypoknit upper that stretches and forms to the foot while blown rubber lugs underfoot proffer a cushioned yet streamlined ride.

Flaunting the most Fresh Foam X content utilized within any silhouette, the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 instigates an overtly softened proposition for the everyday wearer or leisure runner. Strategically placing cushioning and flex zones underfoot, the midsole and outsole pair together for an extremely heightened 34 mm heel stack that’s sure to provide a smooth ride.

Curtailing the Boston-based brand’s slate of toned-down ensembles, the efficiently priced model’s exaggerated sole unit provides a unique aesthetic with one of the banner’s most comfortable racing arrangements.
