New Balance Men's FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoes

About This Item

    What Our Experts Are Saying:

    ""The Rebel v5 is like your favorite running buddy (you know what I mean)—light on its feet, soft when you need it, and always ready for a smooth run. New Balance added more cushion this time and kept it light (under 8oz) , making it great for easy miles without losing that nimble feel. It’s got a breathable, secure upper with a fit that hugs without squeezing, and it feels wider in the toe box allowing my toes to breath, it nails daily training and tempo runs. Style-wise? It looks fast even standing still—especially with the slick new colorways (Angora is my favorite colorway) , and with cooler weather rolling in, now’s the perfect time to look cool and stay comfortable on your runs."" - Peter, Running Expert at DICK'S Sporting Goods Jacksonville, Florida

    The FuelCell Rebel v5 was built to look and feel fast. With its streamlined, race-inspired mesh upper and colorblocking designs, the resulting silhouette boasts a modern style that inspires, surprises, and confidently stands out ahead of the pack. Incredibly lightweight, its blend of PEBA and EVA foams and considered midsole geometry provide a responsive and energetic underfoot, ideal for those miles you want to feel fast. Equipped with FuelCell midsole technology, this upbeat trainer can easily transition from long, steady runs to something swifter and more spontaneous.

Outstanding Running Shoe

My Son is a distance runner and put hundreds of miles on his shoes (He's out on a 10 mile run as I type this). He loves these more then another brand he was previously wearing and the rubber bottom is holding up better. the other brand is named after a little stream and begins with a "B". They were his favorite but the quality has gone down so he gave these a try is is happy he did.

My Favorite Running Shoe Of 2026

I've been extremely impressed with the FuelCell Rebel v5. Living in Melbourne, I use it for everything from daily walks and gym sessions to longer runs, and it has been comfortable every time. One thing that stood out immediately was the breathability. I tend to have sweaty feet, especially during warmer days, but the upper feels airy and helps keep my feet much more comfortable than other shoes I've owned. The shoe is lightweight, responsive, and has a smooth, energetic ride that makes running feel effortless. The cushioning strikes a great balance between softness and responsiveness without feeling bulky or unstable. Whether I'm training, walking around the city, or spending time on my feet throughout the day, the Rebel v5 consistently delivers comfort and performance. Easily one of the best shoes I've purchased, and I'd happily buy another pair.

Aristotle's Review

I have been a loyal New Balance customer for over 40 years, and the FuelCell Rebel sneakers are exceptionally impressive. They are extremely well constructed, remarkably lightweight, and the fabric design is outstanding. The combination of comfort, performance, and craftsmanship makes them among the finest sneakers I have worn.

Amazing Running Shoe

Great shoe. Takes a minute to break in but once they’ve got some wear, they are spectacular. Light weight and very springy.

Perfect Shoes!

I wanted a pair of running shoes different than the pair of max cushioning that I already have. This is a step down from that in the cushioning but the fit and weight of the shoes is perfect. I would definitely buy another pair! I mainly use these for walks, shorts runs, and working out. They do a great job in all those areas.
