This is NOT the NB “full race version”, planned to be lighter, and still to be announced. And named “Racer” or “RC” ?
interesting comparisons to the VF4% and Next%
interesting comparison to the Saucony Endorphin Speed (not yet the Pro), the tests of these 2 Saucony shoes already done by RTR apparently, but “hold” until end of february.
As said, the Olympic accelerate the issue of very interesting shoes
Edit :
the NB FuelCell RC Elite ar now announced also, see link to photo below.
Not sure if the shoe ran by Seb Kienle in Germany and Kona was the TC prototype or the RC prototype.

So we’re still waiting on some competition for the VF.
Seems like a solid offering from NB in the Carbon Plate area. My guess is that this won’t be as good as the Vaporfly’s but closer than most of the other stuff that’s out there. Plus it looks like it has a totally different fit, they look better and they have a lower price point than the VFs. These could be big for NB.

I’d agree it could be big but it isn’t supposed to be the competitor to the Vaporflys though. This is the trainer/racer version. I’m looking forward to the release/reviews of the racer version.

New Balance Instagram just announced the NB FuelCell RC Elite an hour ago officially - so we will still have to wait and see!
ETA got all excited but also - that info is in the first post haha
So, they are called NB FuelCell RC Elite.
Kind of make sense, as most NB pro triathlete such as Kienle and Boecherer wear clothes with “NB / RC” for weeks, I was wondering if it was a teaser for these shoes… yes it was
The TC (Training Companion ?) is apparently available 14 february.
The RC Elite will probably be available also in a few weeks, to comply with Olympic calendar, as I guess Callum Hawkins is probably waiting for them
Waiting for the RTR review of these ones, and the Saucony Endorphin Pro and Speed.
Last year in the Vitality London 10K Andy Butchart pushed hard to break Mo. Mo managed to win. Mo was wearing the Vapor Fly Next % and Butchart was wearing the NB 1400. I’m sure Butchart is also quite happy to have the Fuel Cell RC.
I think the 24th meant for Europe. I thought as well that the 24th was meant for the US so I checked and saw all still sold out. But since I’m based in Europe I also checked the Netherlands NB site and crazy enough they were on stock. In my size just 1 pair and I see now just a few left.
I wear a small size so when they arrive and I like them I can also order a womens size
