New Balance & Paperboy Paris Drop the FuelCell Super Comp Elite v4

— August 6, 2024 — Fashion
Paperboy Paris is a cafe based in a French city and it is known for its cultural influence having worked with various brands outside of the industry most recently, it has created its own pair of FuelCell Super Comp Elite v4 shoes with New Balance.

The Parisian sandwich cafe formed the limited-edition shoe packed with running components and finished with a minimal colorway palette. For this launch, the shoes are doused in a crisp white palette throughout the upper with navy blue details on top for a touch of contrast. The blue hue can be seen in the form of the brand's logo, the lacing system over the forefoot, and the cap-wearing figure which nods to Paperboy Paris.
