From London to New York to Japan and back again, the District Vision team has taken a global approach to the running industry. Bringing together a community-focused approach that highlights the connection between fast feet and a quiet mind, the brand produces performance eyewear, clothes, and accessories while pushing an ethos that embraces slower thinking for quicker running.
The latest collab from District Vision x New Balance brings the brand’s meditation vibes to a pack of New Balance FuelCell SC Elite V5 colorways in calming tones. The two-pack of SC Elite running shoes features a pearl grey pair and a linen cream colorway, both done in monochrome mesh with a stacked midsole and minimal co-branding to match the relaxing colors. Each shoe features a District Vision logo on the lateral heel and a co-branded coin attached to the top lace. Red stitching on the “N” logo is a nod to traditional Japanese fishing methods, while the aforementioned coin is reminiscent of a good-luck token given to District Vision co-founder Tom Daly before a marathon in 2014.

“Every collaboration, whether it’s between friends, brands, or athletes, on some level, is about understanding our differences to create something greater than ourselves,” District Vision wrote about the collab. “Through District Vision’s mindfulness-inspired approach to design and New Balance’s technical application, the resulting collaboration supports the notion that setting out on a physical journey and searching for the path to inner peace may be one in the same.”
The District Vision x New Balance FuelCell SC Elite V5 Collection will be released for pre-order today, November 13, 2025, with a global release scheduled for November 20, 2025. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $280. For all the latest New Balance collab news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
