Contrasting stitches outline the grey Horween nubuck panels of the New Balance Made in USA 2040v5, including the toe surround and the large saddle beneath its N logo. Castlerock with Mood Indigo and Blacktop pairs those grey surfaces with dark two-tone mesh and blue sections around the sole. The mesh openings are particularly visible over the forefoot. A small FuelCell badge interrupts the sidewall, while red detailing appears on the tongue and heel branding.
Underneath that leather-and-mesh upper, the 2040v5 stacks FuelCell, ABZORB SBS and ENCAP cushioning. ENCAP combines foam with a polyurethane rim, and two carbon-fiber plates add structure: one runs the shoe’s length, while the other sits along the medial side. This arrangement distinguishes the v5 beyond its upper materials or color. The adult edition launched in the United States at $399.99, with the North American release dated August 20, 2026.
