Born To Perform
The Elite is a true homage to the purist racing heritage of Newton. A modified version of our minimalistic racer initially only available to our elite race teams, it’s become a favorite for those looking for spike-like performance but want enough structure and cushion for fast miles.
Elevated Comfort
Designed to maximize comfort and security, the ultra breathable upper with an offset lacing system ensures an optimal fit and security to make sure you get the most from every stride.
Dynamic Performance
Newton’s technological edge lies in our proprietary Action-Reaction Technology™. The Elite is the purest incarnation of this, powered by the active movement of the 4 lugs it creates a trampoline-like effect that absorbs impact better and provides a quicker bounce back with less energy loss than other running shoes.
What Our Runners Think
After 3 pairs of Gravity I wasn’t thrilled with the color options for my next round so I read some reviews and these really are even better. I thought I was hooked on the Gravity but looks like I’m a Distance Elite gal now. Just back from another delightful 6-7 miles.
So bouncy and light! PR-d on a dirt road marathon with no blisters at the end! I love these shoes so much!
Women's Distance Elite
Great shoes !
I have a long narrow foot with high arch and these fit amazing. I thought my prior running shoe (which they conveniently stopped making) were light but these are truly lightest shoe I've run in. It didn't take long to adjust to natural running form/shoe as my prior was a low drop and I'm big on running form. I was told about Newton from an elite marathon runner at a small local road race and not only are the shoes amazing, I love that the company is small, gives back, and is aware of the environment as I live in a New England seaside community and enjoy being on and in the water as much running by the ocean every morning.
