New Balance FuelCell Rebel V5 Running Shoes

The New Balance Rebel v5 is a neutral running shoe designed for runners seeking a fast, light, and energetic option for tempo and volume training. Building on the FuelCell platform, it combines low weight with a high-speed feel, suitable for interval sessions and longer runs at high pace. The midsole blends PEBA and EVA for cushioning and a responsive take-off, while FuelCell foam delivers energy return to propel the run forward. It features a 30 mm heel and 24 mm forefoot stack (6 mm drop) to promote a natural roll without instability, and an ultra-light, race-inspired mesh upper with reinforced areas for a snug, ventilated fit. FantomFit provides lightweight support and flexibility, and the geometric midsole is wider and higher than the previous model. Longitudinal outsole pods contribute to the shoe’s propulsion and grip, making it a capable option for varied workouts.
