New Balance Fuel Cell 996 v5 Tennis Shoes
Carefully crafted with both your comfort and performance in mind, the New Balance Fuel Cell 996v5 boasts NDure upper technology designed for superior durability as you move around the court. A higher midsole topline increases lateral stability, while the large TPU shank shows through the outsole for added torsional stability, bringing you the support you need to make confident, dynamic movements around the court.PU support on the tip protects against toe drags, while underfoot, a full-length NDurance rubber outsole provides additional resilience in high wear areas to help you get most out of your matches. The non-marking herringbone outsole pattern is designed specifically for hard court play. Adjustable lace-up closure allows you to customise the fit to get your perfect ‘locked-in’ feel.
New Balance
Taking advantage of their unrivalled experience in running shoes, the Boston-based brand made their name in tennis during the sport’s boom in popularity in the 80s. Their “CT” range – developed in collaboration with Aussie great Roy Emerson – riffed on the successful designs they’d created for athletics, equipping sturdy yet lightweight uppers with cushioning midsoles and stabilising outsoles. All available in a range of widths, as is the NB way.
They use the same principle today, utilising running-shoe tech such as FuelCell and Fresh Foam to give their tennis footwear a huge advantage on the court. From fast, low-ride shoes like the 996 and 796 to the more stability-focused CT Rally and Coco Gauff’s signature COCO, there are options for every type of player, whatever your level.
