Why We Love This Deal
The reasons for running are always different. For some, it’s reinventing themselves after tragedy, while others are just tackling a new year with confidence. But whatever the reason, more people are putting on their road running shoes and hitting the pavement lately. Those looking for a shoe that can keep up with their pace should look at Joe’s New Balance Outlet right now—the outlet has one of Men’s Journal’s favorite New Balance running shoes at a sweet 36% discount.
The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 is marked down to $152, and then the outlet is offering an extra 20% off once it's in your cart. This drops the price to $122, but only until the end of the promotion on Jan. 11. Why is this a big deal? Well, this shoe is also listed on the New Balance site, but there, you'll only get an additional 15% discount at checkout.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: 7 to 14, but prepare to go up half a size; wide sizes are available
- Color Options: Red on white and green on grey
- Heel-to-Toe Drop: 6mm
- Best Use Case: This is a long-distance running shoe through and through.
Whether you call them super trainers or the more omnipotent “super shoes,” this is one of those high-stack trainers that simultaneously gives a soft landing and high energy return via a carbon plate insert. And, as our New Balance reviewer reported, the third time is the charm. Where the v1 went for too much stack and the v2 overtuned the energy return, the v3 is in that “just right” zone for both. The result is a shoe that can structurally handle long runs with ample yet stable support the whole way.
The lower half of the shoe has a very cool polygonal aesthetic, while the mesh upper is visibly breathable, perfect for the long runs this shoe is intended to handle. As MJ previously reported, the upper can get slightly narrow in the toe box, and New Balance itself recommends getting a half size bigger than usual for this one. Luckily, Joe’s New Balance Outlet, which often sees sizes picked through quickly, still has all sizes in stock for this one.
At the end of the day, this shoe is a solid choice for a trainer, and one that’s going to give you a lot of bang (and miles) for the buck. Comparing this to the likes of the Nike Vaporfly 3 or Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 (both super shoes and both among the best marathon shoes 2025 produced), you’ll see that this shoe, if it’s your final choice, can easily save you $40 or more on trainers with this discount.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One runner emphasized how good they were for long runs, even daily. The shoe, they revealed in their review, made the whole body feel great. “Grippy. Comfortable (my feet, chins, knees, hips, and back feel great). Great for daily running and long runs.”
Another shopper reported that this shoe was “great for daily runs at medium to high speeds.” However, they also pointed out that this is not necessarily an excellent entry point into the world of running, and probably won’t be your favorite walking shoe either. For these purposes, check out options like the Adidas Duramo or even this high-cushion Skechers shoe.
The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 is down to $122 with all discounts applied, but this sale ends Jan. 11, so don’t hesitate to buy now.
