Bouncy, Natural And Fast

I really like this shoe. It was very supportive and bouncy at the same time. I feel as though I am close to the ground and I also have a lot of cushion. I felt very fast in the shoe because it is very light.

A Stylish Rebel?(!)

The Rebel v5 checks the boxes of a Rebel. Lightweight, breathable, responsive. Has a surprising amount of grip and traction, moreso than on the v2 (the last Rebel I ran in). Higher stack height is nice. The angora/sea salt color way is the first running shoe I have ever owned that looks just as good on a tempo run as it does with a pair of chinos. Amazing shoe!

Fell In Love At First, Now Not So Sure...

Definitely soft and cushy. I would argue too soft. Comparing the v4 and v5, when pinching the heel midsole the v5 is way softer, to the point where my 190 lb frame bottoms out while running. Ran some uphill intervals in these, now battling a severe shin split in right leg. :( When I heal up, I'll probably go back to my v4's. Even though the stack height is lower in the 4, the firmer midsole (which is still softer than almost any other shoe) holds up better to running abuse, be it slow 10 milers or speed work. The perfect v5 would've been the new, increased stack height (35mm) with the v4 foam. Plus 1 star for NB offering these in 2E! Please keep that up with all your shoes!!

Great For Long And Short Distances

Was using the v4’s previously. I like the added cushion for my longer runs. You can still maintain some speed but have some support for your feet as well.
