Women's lavender New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 running shoes – springy FuelCell foam
Cool lavender on the forefoot and sole, and a dark navy with a violet tint at the heel: this women's version of the Rebel v5 is calm but has character. The model itself is a lightweight shoe for everyday running and faster sections.
The FuelCell foam midsole, a blend of PEBA and EVA, is wider and higher than in the previous version and gives an energetic rebound. The mesh upper has welded FantomFit overlays, and the redesigned heel counter and the tongue, attached to the upper at the sides, look after comfort and foot stability.
