Hi, I'm Chris Morfessi, I'm Senior Product Line Manager here at New Balance, and today
0:04
I'm going to talk to you about the Supercomp Elite V4. We're really excited about the Elite V4 coming out, and we have some major updates, mainly
0:11
to the midsole here. So we are looking at a 100% Peeba midsole, where we're going to just have a lot more
0:17
energy return to the runner. We also have this angular design language here, which is going to really shave weight
0:23
We're shaving about 10% off of predecessor by having these very purposeful facets all
0:28
over the midsole. If you move to the outsole, you'll see our EnergyArc technology
0:33
It's a two-part midsole with a thinner, lighter carbon fiber plate running through the midsole
0:38
These ripples here allowed us to maintain the stiffness that is optimal for the race day shoe, while shaving significant weight out of the plate part
0:46
Longitudinal forefoot here to aid in propulsion off on toe-off, and then a very nice, lightweight
0:52
engineered material in the upper with PhantomFit. PhantomFit is a bonded material that locks that midfoot in place, and makes sure you're
0:59
not moving around in the shoe or squirreling side to side on race day
1:03
We really want to make sure that the metabolic economy benefits you're getting from this model are really captured, and you're not moving and losing that by squirreling all
1:10
over the shoe. The Supercomp Elite V4 will come out on 2-1, and retails for $250
