New Balance continues to refine its Rebel line with the launch of the Fuelcell Rebel v5 – a lightweight trainer that strikes a careful balance between comfort, speed, and daily reliability. This latest version builds on the success of the v4, introducing thoughtful upgrades that elevate both fit and performance.

Starting from the top, the upper features subtle but impactful improvements. While it retains the breathable engineered Fantomfit mesh and gusseted tongue of the previous model, the collar and tongue padding have been reworked for better comfort and lockdown. These changes address common issues from the v4, resulting in a more secure and comfortable fit across varied runs.

Underfoot, the Fuelcell Rebel v5 sees a noticeable midsole upgrade. New Balance adds 5mm of stack height – bringing it to 35mm at the heel – along with a new PEBA-blended Fuelcell foam. This updated midsole compound offers a more energetic, responsive ride while preserving the soft, forgiving feel that defines the Rebel experience. Additional outsole rubber improves traction and durability, without adding bulk or weight.

Performance-wise, the Rebel v5 delivers a smooth, rockered ride that feels just as good during easy miles as it does at uptempo paces. It’s a rare blend of lightweight agility and all-day cushioning, making it suitable for everything from daily training to race day efforts. Whether you’re running a 5K or logging long miles, the shoe’s versatility is where it truly shines.

With the Fuelcell Rebel v5, New Balance have reimagined a fan favorite. The result is a faster, softer, and more dialled-in trainer that stays true to the spirit of the Rebel line: light on foot, big on performance.
