Why it works
- FuelCell PEBA/EVA blend: Combines lightweight cushioning with a propulsive, energetic feel underfoot.
- More foam than the previous version: Adds cushioning while keeping the Rebel’s quick, versatile character.
- Engineered mesh upper: Provides breathable, lightweight support for daily training and faster efforts.
- FantomFit support: Bonded upper construction adds structure without relying on heavy overlays.
- Redesigned heel and tongue: Updated for added comfort during faster miles and longer sessions.
- More forefoot rubber: The redesigned outsole increases rubber coverage where runners load the shoe during toe-off.
Fit & ride
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer designed to feel nimble rather than bulky. The men’s standard width is D, with a traditional lace-up closure for adjustable hold. Its cushioning is energetic enough for quicker training but comfortable enough for routine road mileage.
