Customer Reviews New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5

Excellent pair of running shoes. Would highly recommend.

I was/am a big fan of the Rebel v4, so as long as NB didn't completely re-engineer what made the Rebel a truly versatile trainer, I'd be very happy. SPOILER ALERT: I LOVE the upgrades introduced in the Rebel v5. The ride feels a bit more cushioned and I feel like I can run forever in them, but also lace them up for a quick rip all the same. The fit is a bit more snug than the Rebel v4 which I also really appreciate. Looking forward to racking up the miles in this shoe!

The best tenis for speed sessions! Very light and responsive!

Incredible shoe the style, all the different color ways and comfort were amazing. Took them out for. 1/2 marathon and they held up very good i weight 245 lbs as well.

Rebels bring a little spice to life, day in and day out.

Much better than rebel v4 i really recommend it for all types of training, even for race day

An unbelievable shoe from easy runs, to tempo runs.

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.

Overall a versatile shoe with good quality. Is able to be taken for medium long runs and has enough cushion for comfort, but can also be taken to the track for interval workouts

Best shoes I have! I love the fit. Wish I found these shoes sooner!

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.

I really enjoy how this shoe feels and its a great update over the v4. The cushion is good and responsive, its fun to run in!

very light and responsive. perfect for my hill repeats and track workout. i wouldn't do a long run in them, i would prefer anything under 6super comfortable on my feet

MAJOR upgrade from last year's model. If you like a smooth, stable, and well-cushioned ride, you'll love this shoe. I've also already ran 150+ miles in them and they're holding up great track, easy runs, and medium to long runs too. Highly recommend.

I am a big fan of the Rebel series and while the Rebel v4 stood out for its snappy, ground-connected feel and stability thanks to a firmer midsole and a wider base, the v5 shifts toward a softer, smoother ride that favors versatility and everyday training. After crushing a few runs in these I am convinced this is the best version of this show to date. A solid 5 stars for me!

The rebel v5 is an everyday trainer in my eyes, a trainer where I can do a tempo or a interval session in, a trainer where I can use on my easy days and just jog around. But ultimately what I love about this shoe is that for me it was a big upgrade from the rebel v4s in terms of more comfort and more responsive.

One of my favorite daily trainers out there! Bouncy and responsive strides that shouldnt be possible in a shoe this light, but the Rebel gets it done. Huge upgrade from the v4 in terms of cushioning under the foot.
