Fast enough for tempo days, plush enough for your daily miles.

Whether you are smashing your 5K PR, crushing a mid-week track session, or seeking an ultra-comfortable sneaker for high-mileage weeks, the Rebel v5 answers the call.
Why You’ll Love It:
-
Explosive, Non-Plated Ride: Powered by an upgraded, nitrogen-infused FuelCell PEBA/EVA blend midsole. It provides maximum spring and shock absorption without the harsh rigidity of a plate.
-
Upgraded Cushioning & Stability: A slightly higher stack height offers a softer landing, while the updated, flatter heel and gradual forefoot curve ensure smooth, natural transitions for both heel and midfoot strikers.
-
FantomFit Lockdown: The ultra-light engineered mesh upper uses bonded structural support and a gusseted tongue to hug your foot securely during sharp turns and fast paces.
-
Targeted Traction: Redesigned high-durability rubber placement on the outsole grips the road and maximizes forward propulsion where your foot applies the most force.
