New Balance

Some shoes are fast. Some are comfortable. The Rebel v5 says why not both? The FuelCell Rebel v5 is New Balance s answer to runners who want a single shoe that can do it all. It keeps the same PEBA-blend FuelCell midsole that fans already love ultra-responsive, springy, and built for speed. But this version turns the dial up on comfort and durability. A slight increase in stack height adds extra cushioning without sacrificing that nimble, connected-to-the-ground feel. New rubber outsole zones add just the right amount of stiffness to help channel your energy forward, so you get a smoother, more powerful toe-off, whether you're jogging easily 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.
