[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We can rate this shoe with a 5. Compared to the V4, it gives me more stability. I'm trying to gain speed with series of 400 meters, 1000 meters, 2000 meters, and 3000 meters. These are the shoes I use the most. They wear out less than the V4, which didn't last long. I run 30 to 40 km a week on the track, and they're my favorites when I have to go at a pace less than 4 per kilometer. The new colors are incredible. The improvement in this model is immediately noticeable.
The shoe looks great aesthetically however not great for running. In just two weeks the bottom sole worn off with literally no threads left. These are way too soft and I am not even a hardcore running. I uust do light jogging. The quality of these shoes are not great with price NB is charging customers. I do not recommend it. I submitted a complaint as well for ripping me off with poor quality product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable with perfect fit, great traction, durable build, and excellent support for all-day wear. Reasonably priced & affordable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great squish, very comfortable, but unfortunately my knee didnt like it. I have struggled with squishy shoes for the past couple years and was hoping that the NB Rebel would finally work for me at the v5. Sadly I think my anatomy wont work with the rebel lineup :/
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] More cushion and increased stack height than its predecessor. Light and fast ride, perfect all around none plated shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took my new pair of NB fuelcell rebel v5 out today for a 22km run and it genuinely impressed me. The shoe felt responsive, the balance between cushioning and ground feel. My feet felt secure, just a consistent, stable stride.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My gosh! These shoes are amazing- unbelievable comfort and so stylish too. Getting my boyfriend more colour ways now, his new favourite shoes. Amazing support for your feet amazing for runs and long walks
True to fit. I’ve run about 50 miles in these, only getting better with every step. The color and design are show stoppers, people can’t get enough. Running backroads in the early, pre-sun time frame, allows for me to really stand out with the reflectors and bright ‘Urgent Red’ color scheme. These are daily runner, fast-paced runs, I’ve maxed out by mile 8 ish, could really feel the difference. I’d stick with these for those shorter runs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just tried the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 (Men’s)—well, technically my partner did—and he absolutely loved them! From the moment he put them on, he said they felt incredibly lightweight and responsive. The design is super sleek, with that race-inspired mesh upper and bold midsole that really makes a statement. Definitely a standout shoe. The FuelCell midsole (a mix of PEBA and EVA foams) gives that perfect balance of cushion and bounce. He said it felt super energetic underfoot—great for both long runs and quick tempo sessions. It’s got that "ready to race but comfy enough to train in every day" vibe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ​I wanted to share my absolutely amazing experience with the new FuelCell Rebel v5. This shoe is a game-changer, and I can't get enough of it. ​From a style perspective, the Rebel v5 is a work of art. The streamlined, race-inspired design is so modern and cool. I've been styling mine with everything from my running gear for a serious workout to a pair of joggers and a hoodie for a casual day out. The colorblocking is fantastic and truly makes the shoe stand out. It's one of those sneakers that gets compliments every time I wear it, and it easily transitions from a high-performance running shoe to a statement piece in my everyday wardrobe.
