NO LIMITS
If you’re the kind of runner who knows some gear is not for day one but for the day you win, then that is exactly where the TAG Heuer x New Balance collaboration lands, pairing the Connected Calibre E5 40mm with the FuelCell SC Elite v5, a featherlight violet and green race sneaker built with a PEBA midsole and carbon plate that genuinely drives you forward, a bold palette chosen after three years of debate because, as one New Balance designer put it, this shoe is not for every day, it is for winning, a point TAG Heuer CMO George Ciz distills simply by calling it “a chameleon.” The watch mirrors that intent, designed not just for race day but for the build up, featuring TAG Heuer’s in-house OS with customizable running programs, app connectivity, and advanced GPS tools, a reminder that after a decade in luxury smartwatches, TAG Heuer is still setting the pace. Connected Calibre E5 X New Balance Edition 40 MM $2,050, Sc Elite v5 $280, tagheuer.com
