The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a lightweight and responsive shoe for daily miles, speed work, and race day. Its key benefit is the peba blend FuelCell midsole offering enhanced energy return for a speedy feel. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it is optimized for uptempo running, which might feel less cushioned for slower, recovery runs. Key features include an incredibly lightweight design, a peba blend FuelCell midsole, and a FANTOMFIT upper with a gusseted tongue for secure, breathable support.

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed as an uptempo, lightweight trainer ideal for speed work, daily miles, and even race day for runners who prioritize a fast feel.
FuelCell is New Balance's performance foam technology, here using a peba blend with EVA, which is engineered to provide a blend of soft cushioning and high energy return for a responsive ride.
FANTOMFIT uses bonded overlays to create a lightweight and flexible structure that provides support and breathability without adding bulk.
It can be used for marathon racing by runners who prefer a lightweight, responsive shoe for speed. However, for runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort over very long distances, other models might be preferred.
The heel offset is 6mm (35mm in the heel and 29mm in the forefoot), which is a common offset for performance-oriented running shoes.
Gently clean with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or high heat to preserve the shoe's materials and structure.
The shoe weighs approximately 225g, making it exceptionally lightweight.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. Check if the gusseted tongue is sitting correctly. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size.
Ensure the shoes are broken in properly. Over time, the midsole foam may slightly compress; however, a significant loss of responsiveness might indicate wear or if the shoes have been exposed to extreme temperatures.
This could be due to the FANTOMFIT material needing a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Check the outsole for debris or wear. Ensure you have tied the laces correctly to secure the foot within the shoe. The gusseted tongue should help prevent internal movement.
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up and head out for your run. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable by adjusting the laces through the FANTOMFIT upper.
Compatibility: Designed as running trainers, they are compatible with most road and track surfaces. They are suitable for adult male runners with a UK size 11 foot.
