Women's apricot New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 running shoes – lightweight FuelCell foam
Warm apricot orange fading into cream: this women's version of the Rebel v5 looks sunny even on a cloudy morning. It is a lightweight New Balance model for everyday running and for sessions where you want to feel fast.
The FuelCell foam midsole, a blend of PEBA and EVA, is wider and higher than in the previous version and gives a springy rebound. The mesh upper is reinforced with welded FantomFit layers, and the tongue, attached to the upper at the sides, stabilises the foot. In the outsole the rubber forms lengthwise segments, with extra rubber under the forefoot.
