FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoe - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve been running in the Rebel v5 for tempo days and progression runs—it feels fast without being harsh. The PEBA/EVA foam mix gives it serious bounce, and the redesigned fit around the heel and tongue is way more comfortable than previous versions. It’s super light but still durable enough for high-mileage weeks."

We run to move forward—faster, lighter, and more freely—and the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoe is built to do exactly that. With a sleek, race-inspired silhouette and a featherlight build, the Rebel v5 brings high-energy performance to every mile, from long aerobic efforts to sharp interval work. Its PEBA/EVA midsole blend maximizes bounce and speed, giving us the explosive feel we crave on the days we want to fly.

New Balance redesigned the outsole with more rubber in key zones for durability without adding weight, while the revamped heel and tongue design improve comfort and lockdown at speed. The engineered mesh upper keeps airflow high and weight low, and FantomFit overlays add structure without bulk. Whether we’re chasing a PR or just pushing through a quick morning loop, the Rebel v5 keeps the pace lively and the ride fun.
