New Balance has partnered with Dover Street Market to release a performance running collection, led by the exclusive purple SC Elite V5 shoe. The lineup includes ultralight apparel such as a Race Day T-shirt, windbreaker and split shorts. The items are available now exclusively at Dover Street Market stores.
New Balance describes the SC Elite V5 as its most advanced race-day shoe. This DSM-exclusive model features a carbon fiber plate, an ultra-responsive PEBA midsole, a breathable mesh upper and a 1.7mm-thick outsole for traction on various surfaces. The design omits traditional overlays for reduced weight and improved aerodynamics during runs. Its deep purple color aligns with the collection's minimalist aesthetic influenced by Comme des Garçons, DSM's affiliate.
