REVlite Midsole - Aims to deliver a lightweight ride without minimising construction or sacrificing underfoot cushioning or stability.
The Fuelcore Coast 4 upper is flexible, breathable, and minimizes the use of seams to keep the shoe lightweight. The upper is comprised of a pliable knit material on the outside and a smooth liner on the inside. The Nitrel v3 performed well and gave me the feeling this was the start of a long and meaningful relationship!Be a street style superstar in the latest casual women's shoes from New Balance. Our collection is curated to deliver timeless designs, contemporary fit and eye-catching colors. Strut in confidence with bold colorways and unique designs to make a statement wherever you go. Each piece in this collection pairs effortlessly with go-to tops and leggings for a casual classic look. These women's retro shoes feature year-round staples that are always a perfect fit. It's a wrap! And it feels good on the foot. I especially enjoyed the height of the upper surrounding the ankle which offered great support on the trails and reduced the potential for rolling ankles where the terrain got loose. So there you have it—the New Balance FuelCore Nitrel v3. Nothing flamboyant or fancy; just what sounds like a good old authentic and honest shoe. This is a great shoe, tailor-made for triathletes. Yes, Zoot has had a BOA-enabled option for a few years, but now that big shoe brands are on board, BOA has made some necessary upgrades to their system. I loved the low-profile dial with a rubberized coating for wet-triathlete T2 paws, and I loved the low-seam, highly breathable upper that the BOA system allowed for. It also goes without saying that the tightening system was great at getting the laces super tight, super loose (duathletes take note!) or anything in-between.
Blown-rubber is strategically concentrated in an arch configuration along the toe and heel to prevent accelerated wear in these locations. However, the limited use of blown-rubber leaves the foam exposed under the forefoot. Each one of our New Balance FuelCell running shoes in the range offers subtly distinct performance characteristics, allowing you to select a model that perfectly matches your running style and goals. For a comfortable, well-cushioned ride – look no further than the New Balance rebel v2 (FuelCell), up for training runs and intense runs alike. Every piece has its iterations. Adding to the collection came with careful consideration, if it wasn’t adding to the racing experience then it had no place. Step forward the FuelCell SC Elite v3, it complements the midsole’s super springy rebounds with the dynamic energy return and stability of our Energy Arc system and a full-length carbon plate. Every aspect of its design is developed to deliver PB-busting race day speed. Meanwhile, the New Balance FuelCell Propel v3 offers exceptional day-to-day performance courtesy of lightweight uppers. If you’re after a versatile all-purpose runner that’s allows you to experience the high-rebound performance of FuellCell technology, then this is the collection for you.
The Tech:
New Balance has given the Nitrel v3 a Toe Protect to protect the toes against loose or sharp stones and a Pull Tab to assist with easy on/off. I did have to stop and take one shoe off to remove some debris—nothing too drastic, but I think a gusseted tongue would help prevent this kind of thing. Remember, it’s not a specialist shoe but is a shoe that you can just pull on and go out for a run. You’ll be secure in the knowledge that your feet will be fine, and it will handle all the terrains you present it with. New Balance FuelCore Nitrel v3 – Overview & specifications
New Balance doesn’t state the size of the lugs, but I would suggest they could be about 4 mm—this would mean good traction on dry, light trails but not so great on wet, muddy ground. The Nitrel v3 comes in weighing 274 grams The midsole becomes slightly more rigid in the midfoot and heel where the foot is less flexible. New Balance’s Response performance insole rests on top of the midsole to further enhance the shoe’s responsive and supple feel.
The midsole is a REVlite Midsole aimed at providing a lightweight experience without sacrificing the underfoot cushioning. I was now ready to try the Nitrel v3 over the 35-mile distance. This run would also include a steep technical ascent and descent of just over 500 feet.
The laces are quite long for a trail shoe, and on one occasion the loop of the lace caught a twig, and I nearly went down—again not a big deal, but shorter laces or laces that can be hidden away would make the shoe even better. Throughout the 18 miles, the Nitrel v3 performed really well. The shoe was very comfortable and secured my feet well. I had no ‘hot-spots’ whatsoever, and the ‘relationship’ was growing stronger!It was by no means a specialist shoe in any one specific area, but if you were to go on holiday and could only take one shoe; the Nitrel v3 would be a great one to take. This will provide added support and comfort around the ankle and allow you to ‘dial-in’ the laces to ensure a secure fit. But as you can see, it is not a gusseted tongue and therefore could potentially let in debris. The last two digits of the number used to indicate the level of cushioning: a “60” being a stability shoe while a “80” a neutral shoe. This is the actual list:
