New Balance keeps trimming. The v5 already walked away from the chunky, ultra-cushioned build that defined earlier chapters of the SuperComp Elite line, and the v6 pushes in the same direction, landing at 190 grams. The upper is FANTOMFIT mesh, picked for breathability and for weighing close to nothing, while Infinion foam and a midfoot plate handle the propulsion side. This is the shoe New Balance sends into the marathon supershoe fight against Nike’s Alphafly and adidas’ Adizero racers, a category that was already at war long before run clubs became a fashion beat. Four colorways arrive across men’s and women’s sizing, including a Satsuma Orange women’s makeup and an alkaline green pair.
