Women's black New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 running shoes – lightweight FuelCell foam
Not every fast shoe has to glow neon. The women's Rebel v5 in the Black / Castlerock colourway has a black upper and a graphite sole, a combination that looks good on a morning run and on the way to it. The model works for everyday running and when your plan includes faster sections.
FuelCell foam made from a blend of PEBA and EVA gives a light, energetic rebound, and the midsole, wider and higher than in the previous version, adds cushioning. The mesh upper with welded FantomFit overlays fits close to the foot, and the tongue, attached to the upper at the sides, stabilises it from above.
