SneakersNEW BALANCE TOKYO DESIGN STUDIO X STONE ISLAND RC ELITE – REGISTER NOW
1 July 2022Stone Island and New Balance’s Tokyo Design Studio return with two bold iterations of the FuelCell RC Elite V2.
Stone Island and New Balance’s Tokyo design studio are underpinned by similar principles: relentless innovation and experimentation. The two are back together again to extend their previous link up, reworking the FuelCell RC Elite V2 in a duo of colourways.
The palette used on both iterations is far bolder than the previous pair, with one pair arriving in green and burgundy and the other in red and grey. Stone Island’s penchant for material experimentation is evidently clear across the uppers; they’re constructed using 3D-knitted mesh, with torn-effect overlays that reveal that iconic compass branding.
The performance underpinnings are equally as progressive as the visuals, with a carbon fibre plate and a layer of FuelCell foam allowing increased propulsion and energy return.
