Speed Without Compromise

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel V5 is built for one purpose: going fast. This isn't a do-everything trainer—it's a specialized speed weapon designed for tempo runs, interval workouts, and race day performances. At just 7.0 ounces, the Rebel V5 disappears on your feet while delivering the propulsive energy return that makes fast paces feel effortless.

Race-Ready Technology

• FuelCell Midsole: New Balance's most responsive foam delivers explosive energy return with every toe-off, propelling you forward efficiently
• Ultralight Construction: 7.0 oz weight (men's size 9) reduces fatigue during speed work and racing
• Engineered Knit Upper: Breathable, lightweight material wraps the foot securely without adding bulk or weight
• Sublimated Graphics: Bold design elements add visual speed without extra material layers
• 6mm Drop: Low heel-to-toe offset promotes natural midfoot striking and efficient turnover
• Flexible Forefoot: Allows natural toe splay and powerful push-off during fast running
• Durable Rubber Outsole: Strategic placement in high-wear zones balances traction with weight savings

Built for Fast Days

The Rebel V5 excels when the pace quickens. Tempo runs feel smoother as the FuelCell foam returns energy with each stride. Interval workouts become more efficient when lightweight construction reduces the effort required to lift your feet. Race day performances improve when you're wearing shoes designed specifically for speed rather than compromising with heavier trainers.

This isn't a high-mileage daily trainer—the Rebel V5 serves a specific role in a runner's rotation. Use it for quality workouts, speed sessions, and races where every ounce matters. Pair it with a more cushioned trainer for easy runs and long miles. This specialization allows the Rebel V5 to excel at what it does best: making you faster.

The fit runs true to size with a snug, race-ready feel. The engineered knit upper adapts to foot shape while maintaining security during quick turnover. Runners seeking a roomier fit may want to try a half size up, though the snug fit contributes to the shoe's responsive feel and efficient energy transfer.

New Balance designed the Rebel V5 for runners who understand that different workouts demand different shoes. This is the shoe you reach for when the training plan says "tempo" or "intervals" or when race day arrives and you want every advantage.
