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.

Good All Rounder

These shoes are nice for daily runs and some tempo work. I had a good time running hill blasts in them.

They Are Everything

I seen the sneaker on someone’s feet, the color was captivating. I got the information about the style of sneaker, & immediately order a size 8 1/2 men’s. OMG 😱, to me unboxing, & holding this beauty of a sneaker 😊. First of all, the sneaker is so lightweight, in hand, but when I tried on, & walked around the house with just one sneaker on IT WAS AS IF I KNEW WHAT WALKING ON A CLOUD FELT LIKE 🤭. This sneaker is so, so comfortable. I had to put the other one on as well, & that’s when I experienced MY FIRST LOVE, with NEW BALANCE/ FUELCELL REBEL V5. I found my sneaker for all occasions. You can dress up, down, run errands in them, all day in them. I am literally ordering 2 more pairs for back up. These are a must have. What are you waiting for, order yours today 😉

Need A Size 10.25 Lol

I have all NB shoes and im a size 10 in all of them with no issues but for these I got the 10 and my toes are like right up on the toe box so to prevent injury I went with the 10.5 and it's almost too long, I sort of have to try a few different attempts at tying them so I don't feel like I'm sliding around in them it's weird. Other than that, the foam is soft, not as responsive as the EVO SL but I've hit several mile PRs in them. They give good natural ground feel

Very Good Training Shoe

Great value shoe for daily runs. I have a wide foot and the toe box feels perfect for me. Arch support is very noticeable.

Cheat Code

These shoes are a cheat code. I instantly shaved 30 seconds off my pace for a 5km run. I'm a big guy, at 94kg, and my old shoes were just not cutting it. The fuel cell foam provided plenty of cushion for my big frame as well as giving me enough kick to pick up the pace. The toe box is comfortable and light feeling, and the neutral stability is good as I have one stiff ankle and one pronate. I highly recommend these shoes if you want something comfortable but want to be able to go a bit faster, but not too fast.

I still like my Rebel 5's, they fit a little different than my first pair for some reason, have a narrower feel Still good running shoe

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 😀
