The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is an ultra-lightweight neutral trainer built for everyday runs, quick efforts, and the kind of miles where you want to feel fast. A blend of PEBA and EVA foams in the FuelCell midsole delivers a responsive, propulsive ride, while the geometric midsole —extending wider and stacking higher than its predecessor—adds a touch more cushion underfoot. The FantomFit upper combines a breathable mesh construction with no-sew synthetic overlays for a supportive, barely-there feel. Reflective detailing and race-inspired colorblocking round out a silhouette that moves as confidently as it looks. At just approximately 223 grams (7.9 oz) for a 9.5M, it transitions easily from long steady runs to spontaneous pickups.

Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 available in a wide width?
Yes, the men's FuelCell Rebel v5 comes in both Standard (D) and Wide (2E) widths and verified purchasers with wider feet noting that the wide option provides a true, comfortable fit.
What kind of running is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?
Is it good for everyday running? It's designed for everyday running and quick runs, and works well for training runs, casual miles, and half marathon prep. It's not a dedicated stability shoe, so it's best suited for neutral runners.
How much cushioning does the FuelCell Rebel v5 have?
The midsole makes the FuelCell Rebel v5 a moderately cushioned shoe—soft enough for comfortable daily use without feeling overly built-up underfoot.
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 breathable enough for warm-weather running?
The mesh upper is designed to be lightweight and breathable, and verified purchasers cite it as a comfortable option for warm temperatures.
Can I wear the FuelCell Rebel v5 for walking or all-day wear?

What type of foam is used in the midsole?

The men's FuelCell Rebel v5 weighs approximately 223 grams (7.9 oz) for a U.S. 9.5M, which places it among the lighter everyday training shoes in the men's running category. The FantomFit upper uses bonded overlays instead of traditional stitched layers, contributing to the reduced weight.
