The FuelCell Rebel v5 is New Balance’s answer for runners who want a single shoe that can do it all. It keeps the same PEBA-blend FuelCell midsole that fans already love — soft, springy, and built for speed. But this version turns the dial up on comfort and durability. A slight increase in stack height adds cushioning underfoot without sacrificing that swift and nimble feel. A redesigned rubber outsole adds just the right amount of stiffness to help channel your energy forward. So you get a smoother and more powerful toe-off, whether you're jogging easy or picking up the pace. On top, the plush tongue offers upgraded comfort, locking down your fit without pressure. Whether it’s a recovery day, tempo run, or anything in between, the Rebel v5 adapts effortlessly.
