New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 "Black White Silver Metallic" MFCXLO5

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 “Black White Silver Metallic” keeps the focus on speed, comfort, and no-nonsense performance. This update builds on what worked in the last version—then adds more foam underfoot, better grip at the forefoot, and subtle refinements to the upper for an even smoother fit.

It starts with a stripped-back mesh upper that hugs the foot without weighing it down. Reflective touches sit neatly across the shoe, adding visibility without disrupting the clean black and white palette. The metallic silver ‘N’ branding finishes the look with a sharp, sport-ready edge.

New Balance uses its FuelCell technology throughout the midsole, combining EVA and PEBA foams for a smooth, springy ride. There’s more cushioning this time around, and the updated rocker geometry helps transitions feel fluid from heel to toe. The outsole adds extra rubber up front to keep traction steady on faster runs and damp roads.

This isn’t a shoe that sits still. It moves easily between long sessions and shorter bursts, giving just enough protection without dulling the ride. The heel and tongue have both been reshaped, reducing pressure and improving comfort on the go.

For runners who like their daily miles to feel sharp, light, and steady, the Rebel v5 delivers. The “Black White Silver Metallic” edition keeps things understated but purposeful—exactly how a fast daily trainer should. Whether you’re chasing tempo splits or staying consistent through the week, this pair covers both ends well.
