New Balance FuelCell Rebel V5 Running Shoes

The New Balance Rebel v5 is a neutral running shoe designed for runners seeking speed, lightness, and energetic pace across tempo and volume training. Building on the FuelCell platform, it aims to deliver a high-speed feel with low weight, suitable for interval sessions and long, fast runs. The shoe features a light midsole blend of PEBA and EVA for cushioning and a responsive take-off, with FuelCell foam delivering energy return to drive the stride. Its FantomFit upper provides lightweight support, while the ultra-light race-inspired mesh and reinforced areas offer a snug, ventilated fit. With a 30 mm heel and 24 mm forefoot stack (6 mm drop), the Rebel v5 encourages a natural roll through the foot without instability. At approximately 177 grams, the design emphasizes a fast, forward-driving experience across various paces and distances.
