New Balance Running Shoes Release Date Calendar 2025

Stay ahead of every major New Balance drop this year. From carbon-plated race shoes to trail-tested favorites and max-cushion comfort trainers — here’s your definitive guide to New Balance running shoe releases in 2025.

New Balance running shoes are incredibly popular worldwide, and the brand has a large and loyal following in countries such as the US. That’s why many people are curious about when the latest versions of their favorite models will be released.

Here, we’ve compiled a list of models that have already been confirmed via the brand’s official press releases, as well as release dates that have been rumored in various forums and social media.

Most Anticipated Releases from New Balance 2025

Here are some of the most anticipated releases from New Balance this year:

New Balance SuperComp Elite v5 Release Date – August 2025

One of the most exciting drops on the 2025 New Balance calendar is the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5, launching globally on August 7th, 2025. And this one isn’t just for the pros — it’s built for any runner chasing speed on race day.

I’ve had my eye on this shoe ever since whispers of its redesign started circulating last year. When you line up for a marathon, small tweaks can mean big gains, and New Balance knows it.

The Elite v5 is a complete overhaul — a shoe with the kind of detail you only get when an Olympic gold medalist like Alex Yee is involved in testing.

A Race-Day Weapon Refined

Alex didn’t just wear the shoe for running – he shaped it. After months of lab visits and test sessions, he debuted it at the 2025 London Marathon, clocking in at 2:11:08. If that doesn’t say confidence in a shoe, I don’t know what does.

From what we know so far, the Elite v5 features a reworked FuelCell midsole paired with a responsive Energy Arc carbon plate, but what makes it special is how light and seamless it feels. It’s designed to last the full 26.2 without falling apart under you — and still gives you a final push when your legs start to fade.

It’s the kind of shoe that doesn’t just show up on the start line — it stays with you stride after stride, mile after mile.

Every year, there are a handful of models that shift the landscape of what a race-day shoe can do. This is one of them. Whether you’re gunning for a new marathon PR or just want a taste of elite-level energy return, the SuperComp Elite v5 should be circled in red on your calendar.

FuelCell Rebel v5 Release Date – June 2025

There’s something about slipping on a shoe that feels like it wants to run for you. That’s the vibe I got the moment I stepped into the FuelCell Rebel v5 – a shoe that doesn’t just sit in your rotation, it insists on being your go-to.

The Rebel series has always leaned into a bold aesthetic, but v5 takes it up a notch. The lines are sharper, the midsole more expressive, and everything about it feels tuned for movement. It’s not trying to be a maximalist trainer or a pure racer – it’s sitting comfortably in that magic middle ground where versatility meets speed.

Feel the Bounce

What really stands out this time around is the new PEBA-infused FuelCell midsole. It’s bouncy – really bouncy — but not in a way that feels out of control. It gives just the right kind of spring that makes you want to quicken your stride, whether you’re warming up or chasing down a negative split.

The ride is smooth, and there’s a clever balance between softness and snap. It’s a shoe that doesn’t demand your best effort — it quietly brings it out of you.

Fast or Steady? Your Call

The FANTOMFIT upper is minimal but effective – it disappears around the foot, with just enough hold through the midfoot from a gusseted tongue. The lockdown is clean, and the overall feel is more nimble than snug.

It’s a rare kind of daily trainer: flexible enough for easy miles, responsive enough for strides and intervals. If you like to mix paces without switching shoes, this one will earn its place by the door.

If you’re the type of runner who likes to feel connected to the road, loves picking up the pace mid-run, and values a shoe that doesn’t weigh you down – the Rebel v5 is ready when you are.

New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v15 Release Date

If you’ve been around the running block, you know the New Balance 1080 series doesn’t need much of an introduction. It’s the brand’s flagship daily trainer – the model that keeps beginners comfortable and veterans loyal. And with v14 released in fall 2023, we’re starting to look ahead.

All signs are pointing to a potential Fresh Foam X 1080v15 landing in September 2025.

Why September Makes Sense

New Balance has a track record of updating the 1080 line roughly every two years — always giving it enough space to shine before handing the baton to the next generation.

With the v14 still going strong and receiving high marks for its softer Fresh Foam X cushioning and improved rocker geometry, we’d expect New Balance to unveil v15 just as the fall training season kicks into high gear.

It also gives the brand breathing room following their SuperComp Elite v5 release in August, allowing the 1080 v15 to stand on its own.

What Might Be New in v15?

We’re speculating here — but based on how NB has been innovating across models like the More v5, Vongo v6, and Rebel v5, here’s what we might see in the 1080v15:

• Refined rocker geometry for smoother toe-offs
• A lighter Fresh Foam X compound with improved resilience
• More sculpted sidewalls to increase midfoot support
• Upper redesign for an even more breathable and secure fit
• A broader platform for added stability without sacrificing softness

Expect subtle, runner-focused changes rather than a dramatic overhaul — the 1080 doesn’t need to reinvent itself; it just needs to stay one step ahead.

Fresh Foam More v6

Maximal cushioning for long miles, recovery days, or walking. Updated geometry and comfort-first fit.
