New Balance Men's FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoes

About This Item

    What Our Experts Are Saying:

    ""The Rebel v5 is like your favorite running buddy (you know what I mean)—light on its feet, soft when you need it, and always ready for a smooth run. New Balance added more cushion this time and kept it light (under 8oz) , making it great for easy miles without losing that nimble feel. It’s got a breathable, secure upper with a fit that hugs without squeezing, and it feels wider in the toe box allowing my toes to breath, it nails daily training and tempo runs. Style-wise? It looks fast even standing still—especially with the slick new colorways (Angora is my favorite colorway) , and with cooler weather rolling in, now’s the perfect time to look cool and stay comfortable on your runs."" - Peter, Running Expert at DICK'S Sporting Goods Jacksonville, Florida

    The FuelCell Rebel v5 was built to look and feel fast. With its streamlined, race-inspired mesh upper and colorblocking designs, the resulting silhouette boasts a modern style that inspires, surprises, and confidently stands out ahead of the pack. Incredibly lightweight, its blend of PEBA and EVA foams and considered midsole geometry provide a responsive and energetic underfoot, ideal for those miles you want to feel fast. Equipped with FuelCell midsole technology, this upbeat trainer can easily transition from long, steady runs to something swifter and more spontaneous.

Fantastic To Train In Every Day Way Better The Mos

Great on the heel toe response soft on the under foot

Rebels Are The Best!

I took a punt on these last year and now have 4 pairs. They are great for all my runs. The Rebels feel light and responsive and are perhaps best at 5K (Parkrun) up to Half Marathon distances. Some reviews talk about a drop off in foam response but I haven't had this issue. The only minor niggle is that when the sole begins to wear out it becomes smooth and can lose a bit of traction on wet surfaces. However, I love the performance, look and feel of these shoes and very highly recommend them. I feel fast in them 😀

V5 Rebel Love Love Love

I often had trouble with shoes that would fit and last but new balance has always delivered especially with the rebel v5 I love love love this shoe for training

Like Walking On Bubble Wrap.

DO NOT BUY THESE SHOES!!! After minimal use they will start to sound and feel like you are walking on bubble wrap An obvious fault but new balance will not accept it. Like most companies they make their shoes to only last as long as their warranty. The are not built to last.

Best Running Shoes

I’ve been using the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 and honestly, they’ve been great. They feel super light and responsive, which makes them perfect for speed workouts like intervals and tempo runs. At the same time, they’re comfortable enough for easy runs, so you don’t feel like you need a different pair every day. The cushioning gives a nice balance of softness and bounce, making each run feel smooth. Overall, it’s a really versatile running shoe and a great choice for anyone looking for one pair to handle most types of runs.

Fast And Fun

I wanted to test these out during workouts to see what they can handle. So far I love them. They are fast and snappy. The cushion on these are great. I've mainly been using the EVO SL for my workout shoes but now I'm split between the two.
