Maximum Cushion. Infinite Energy. The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp (SC) Trainer v2 is engineered for the miles that matter. Designed as a "super-trainer," it bridges the gap between your daily mileage and race-day performance. If you’re looking for a shoe that protects your legs during high-volume training while providing the propulsive "pop" of a carbon racer, this is the pinnacle choice.

The "Leg Saver" Technology At the heart of the SC Trainer v2 is a high-stack FuelCell midsole—New Balance's most responsive foam—paired with Energy Arc technology. A void through the centre of the sole allows the carbon fiber plate to flatten and store energy, releasing it with every toe-off for a sensation of effortless forward motion.

Key Features:

• FuelCell Foam: Delivers a propulsive feel to help drive you forward during long efforts.

• Energy Arc Carbon Plate: A specially shaped carbon fibre plate sandwiched between two layers of foam for maximised energy return.

• Refined Comfort: The v2 features a more traditional, cushioned heel collar and a lightweight breathable mesh upper for a secure, lockdown fit.

• Strategic Durability: High-wear rubber outsole zones ensure this shoe can handle the grind of a full marathon training cycle.

The Aesthetic: Finished in a sophisticated Grey Matter and Silver Metallic palette with high-energy Mint Flash accents. It is a clean, technical look that fits perfectly into a modern running rotation.

Technical Specs:

• Category: Neutral / Max Cushion / Carbon-Plated.

• Best For: Long runs, steady-state training, and recovery runs where you want to keep your legs fresh.

• Offset: 6mm drop for a stable, natural transition.

PRC Staff Note: This is the shoe our team reaches for on Sunday long runs. It takes the "sting" out of the pavement, allowing you to back up your training sessions without the usual fatigue. A true workhorse in a "super shoe" disguise.
