FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoe energizes every stride with ultra-light foam and propulsive speed
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.

Amazing piece of art and high performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to share my absolutely amazing experience with the new FuelCell Rebel v5. This shoe is a game-changer, and I can't get enough of it. From a style perspective, the Rebel v5 is a work of art. The streamlined, race-inspired design is so modern and cool. I've been styling mine with everything from my running gear for a serious workout to a pair of joggers and a hoodie for a casual day out. The colorblocking is fantastic and truly makes the shoe stand out. It's one of those sneakers that gets compliments every time I wear it, and it easily transitions from a high-performance running shoe to a statement piece in my everyday wardrobe.

Versatile Quality

Comfortable, lightweight, and fast.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Rebels are one of my favorite running shoes. I already loved the V4, and with the changes they made in the V5 especially in the tongue they made them even better.

Comfortable and fast ride.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the extra cushion compared to the v4. The upper mesh is lovely, specially in hard days or summer weather. Fuelcell foam is really solid on tempo runs and even short races. Love the plush but responsive feeling. The ankle collar is really comfy with the added padding.
