New Balance FuelCell Impulse

If there is something that characterizes the New Balance FuelCell Impulse is that it is the first running shoe that implements the innovative FuelCell technology as its name suggests.

Its raison d'être is centered on a midsole with a foam that has been injected with nitrogen in order to increase the responsiveness of the model.

In this way, and as its name also indicates, it favors the impulse in the take-off phase.

New Balance FuelCell Impulse, outstanding features

All in all, the New Balance FuelCell Impulse is a running shoe whose main features are agility and lightness to make it a lighter training option, and which is designed to run really fast. Thus, the New Balance FuelCell Impulse is able to provide the necessary momentum to accelerate the pace of running.

More responsive midsole

The first thing to analyze in the innovative FuelCell Impulse from New Balance, without a doubt, its midsole. The Boston brand's designers have opted to incorporate the signature RevLite foam to build the chassis, which promotes more efficient transitions while adding an extra point of speed.

But, without a doubt, one of the great innovations of these New Balance FuelCell Impulse is in the incorporation of FuelCell technology in the forefoot area, and in the form of two capsules, through which, this running shoe provides a cushioning capacity with a greater range of elasticity and better articulation, which translates into greater performance for longer.

New starting angle

Since we are talking about innovation, elevated to the maximum power, it should also be noted that these new New Balance FuelCell Impulse bring with them a new 10-degree departure angle that provides optimal directional traction, which facilitates running at higher speeds.

In this way, New Balance has worked on aligning the traction of the sole itself with the mid-rotation of the foot. The optimal result is that not only the traction of the model is improved, but also contributes to a more efficient and natural take-off phase.

In addition, the front part of the sole of these FuelCell Impulse shoes includes a series of tabs, which help to enjoy maximum efficiency at the moment of impulse.

With these characteristics, the New Balance FuelCell Impulse are oriented to a profile of runner with a neutral stride, and a light build, up to 75 kilos, although runners must have an excellent running technique, and have the purpose of running fast, very fast.

Thus, the FuelCell Impulse is the perfect choice for intensive training, and also as a racing shoe. A real flying shoe.
