Men's New Balance FuelCell Rebel Running Shoes sit between a traditional daily trainer and a dedicated speed shoe. The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is light, soft and flexible, making it suited to everyday road miles, progression runs, intervals and tempo sessions without using a stiff carbon plate.

The Rebel v5 uses a PEBA and EVA FuelCell midsole, giving the shoe a cushioned feel while keeping the ride lively when the pace increases. Compared with more heavily cushioned New Balance running shoes, the Rebel feels less bulky and more natural underfoot. It is still comfortable enough for steady mileage, which gives it more range than a pure workout shoe.

Fit is fairly accommodating for a faster trainer, with the v5 offering good forefoot room while maintaining secure lockdown. The flexible construction is a big part of the Rebel's character, especially for runners who prefer a shoe that moves naturally rather than relying on a plate for stiffness and propulsion.

Browse Men's New Balance FuelCell Rebel Running Shoes across Rebel v5 and previous Rebel v4 options, then choose by size and colour for daily training, tempo runs and faster road sessions.
