FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoe brings lightweight speed and responsive cushion to every run
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I love how light and energetic the Rebel v5 feels, especially on tempo runs and strides. The PEBA/EVA foam gives it serious bounce without feeling too soft, and the redesigned fit around the heel really improves comfort. It’s quick, breathable, and just plain fun to run in."
We want every run to feel smooth, fast, and effortless—and the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoe helps us find that rhythm. Built for runners who crave energy and speed, the Rebel v5 combines a modern, race-inspired silhouette with the ultra-responsive FuelCell midsole, giving us a snappy, propulsive ride from start to finish. Whether we're logging long miles or dialing up the pace, this shoe keeps the momentum rolling.
The PEBA/EVA foam blend offers lightweight durability and rebound, while the redesigned heel and tongue add comfort and stability for faster miles. The breathable mesh upper keeps airflow high on warm days, and FantomFit overlays provide support without weighing us down. With upgraded outsole rubber for traction and durability, the Rebel v5 is a go-to for runs where we want to feel fast and focused.

Beautiful but runs extremely small
The shoe is beautiful and very light, but it runs extremely small. This should be clearly informed on the website, but it isn’t. I normally wear size 7.5, I ordered 8.5 and it still didn’t fit. I received the shoes in Orlando during a vacation trip, couldn’t find another pair to exchange, didn’t have time to return them, and now I’m going back to Brazil with a pair I won’t be able to use. Very disappointing.

Lightweight and super cushy
Comfortable, super cushioned, fit great. I have a narrow foot and these fit nicely with extra width in the toe box. Using for walking while on vacation and I can easily walk 10+km with absolutely no issues (straight out of the box).

Best Running Shoes
I’ve bought many brands and many styles for running (tread, trail, and road) and these shoes are genuinely the best I’ve used. Their light, VERY breathable, and have the perfect amount of cushion (not too much and just enough). If you’re a mid-foot runner these are it.

Great Shoe
Very different from V4. Doesn’t feel as to the ground as previous version which I like but has its own personality great shoe for easy/long runs, okay for doors but not in the way the previous achieved.

Most Improved All-Rounder Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Of all New Balance's recent running shoe updates, I personally believe this is the most improved. The entire sole seems to be more cushioned and supportive than the Rebel v4s, without compromising its performance as a tempo / workout shoe. I personally feel like I recover a lot faster in this model. I used to only wear Rebels for my track workouts, but I now find myself gravitating towards them for everyday runs when I want to push myself harder. Seeing a lot more people from my running crew wearing them since being updated too!

Best runners out there for everyday runs
I can't help but smile about these ones. I adore these shoes. I use them for everyday runs, around 5km. After trying out a number of different ones, Hoka and Nike, I always ended up with blisters to some degree. These are so breathable, soft inside yet stable enough. The drop on these is also great, they just help you to move forward even when there's elevation. It's like being able to forget they're on your feet and having the confidence with each step. I genuinely love these shoes, worth every penny.

Love! Airy, light and cute too!
Love! Airy, light and cute too! Love love love these! I needed a comfy road trainer and finally made my way back to New Balance and I’m so happy I did! These are perfect for training and so cute that I ordered a second pair for casual wear!
