The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4: Fast, Fun, and Ready to Fly
If running ever feels like a chore, the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4 is here to shake things up—in the best way possible. This lightweight, energetic shoe isn’t just designed for speed; it’s designed for joy. One run in the Rebel v4, and you’ll remember why you fell in love with running in the first place.
All About That Bounce: FuelCell Midsole Magic
At the heart of the Rebel v4 is its FuelCell midsole, now with a revamped PEBA/EVA blend that gives the shoe a propulsive, snappy ride. This is the tech that puts a spring in your step—literally. Every toe-off feels like a mini-launch, giving you forward momentum without having to work harder.
It’s the kind of bounce that makes you want to run an extra mile, just because it feels that good. It’s not carbon-plated, but that’s the point—the Rebel v4 gives you serious speed with a more natural feel, letting you stay connected to the road while still getting that explosive energy return.
Lightweight, Sleek, and Fun to Fly In
The upper is engineered mesh—breathable, lightweight, and secure. It hugs your foot without feeling restrictive, and its minimal design keeps the weight down, letting your legs turn over effortlessly. It’s the kind of shoe that disappears on your foot—in a good way—so you can focus on enjoying the ride.
Ideal for Tempo Runs, Intervals, and Everyday Speed
The Rebel v4 thrives in that middle ground between daily trainer and race-day rocket. It's ideal for faster sessions—think tempo runs, interval workouts, or progression runs—but it’s also plush enough for mid-distance daily mileage. If you’re heading out for anything between 5K and 10 miles, the Rebel v4 is a dream.
Some runners even enjoy it for longer runs, especially those with efficient form or who prefer a more responsive shoe over ultra-cushioning. That said, if you’re grinding out 20-milers regularly, you might want a bit more underfoot for those recovery days.
