FuelCell Foam and PEBA

The midsole uses a high-performance blend of FuelCell foam and PEBA, known for its exceptional shock-absorbing capacity. It provides substantial cushioning and an impressive bounce sensation for a plate-free shoe.

Redesigned Fit and Upper

The upper has been revamped with FantomFit technology, an adjusted collar, and a new tongue. This design comfortably wraps the foot to prevent friction and ensure a secure fit, even at high speeds.

Enhanced Traction and Grip

The outsole features a strategic layer of durable rubber (approximately 1.7 mm thick) distributed across contact areas. It guarantees excellent traction on roads and dry trails while maintaining the shoe's featherlight weight.

New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5: For Which Type of Runner?

The Ideal Runner

  • All Profiles: The Rebel v5 impresses with its great adaptability. It will delight beginners (up to 85 kg) who need generous cushioning, as well as experienced runners looking for a flexible yet aggressive shoe for their tempo sessions.
  • Gait Type: Ideal for universal (neutral) gait. Its moderate 6 mm drop supports runners who land on their forefoot or midfoot, promoting a smoother motion.

Perfect Use

  • Daily Training (Daily Trainer): This is the ultimate all-rounder shoe, particularly comfortable for active runs and sessions with varying paces.
  • Threshold and Interval Sessions: Its incredible lightweight (216 g in size 42) and PEBA responsiveness are key assets during accelerations, making you forget you're wearing shoes.
  • Short-Distance Racing: It is fully competitive for distances from 5 km to half marathons, establishing itself as one of the best alternatives for those who dislike the rigidity of carbon plates.

What Size to Choose for the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5?

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 offers a true-to-size and snug fit, characterized by its thin upper and redesigned tongue to ensure a precise lock on your midfoot during exercise.

Our Advice: The model fits true to size. We recommend taking your usual running shoe size (generally one size up from your casual shoe size).

Need Comfort? The forefoot provides enough space for toe movement. The mesh adapts effortlessly to different foot shapes over the kilometers.

FAQ – New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5

The Rebel v5 is an ultra-versatile training shoe without a plate, prioritizing flexibility and comfort at high or low speeds. The SuperComp Elite v5 is a high-end competition model that integrates a profiled carbon fiber plate to maximize energy efficiency and pure speed.


Yes. With its midsole height increased to 35 mm at the heel and the excellent cushioning of the FuelCell foam, your muscles and joints will be protected over long distances. However, for athletes looking to break their time record over 42 km, a shoe with a carbon plate will still be more efficient.


This version features a 6 mm drop (35 mm at the heel, 29 mm at the forefoot). If you're used to running with 10-12 mm drops, a slight adaptation period may be needed to allow your calves to adjust.


The Rebel v5 features more foam for a higher stack and includes a bit of PEBA for even more responsive cushioning. Its upper has been redesigned for better support, and the outsole has more rubber to improve traction. As a result, it has gained a little weight (about +15 g) but offers improved overall comfort.


No, the FuelCell Rebel v5 does not have a carbon plate (or nylon plate). This is precisely one of its great strengths: it relies solely on the responsiveness of its supercritical foam for dynamic performance without excessive muscle demand.


The New Balance Rebel v5 is primarily recommended for runners weighing less than 85 kg. For heavier runners seeking more reinforcement and structure, a model like the Fresh Foam X 1080 would generally be more suitable.


Although it is primarily designed for road running, its widened ground contact sole and rubber inserts allow it to venture without issue onto white trails, dirt roads, and stabilized urban parks.


It is strongly discouraged to machine wash your shoes, as this can irreversibly damage the FuelCell foam and adhesives. Instead, opt for gentle hand cleaning with a small brush, warm water, mild soap, and then let them air dry away from heaters or direct sunlight.
