New Balance Fuelcell Rebel v2

Lovers of fast paces and those who are hooked on this segment of mixed running shoes are in luck because the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2 model lands with renewed airs, but maintaining the essence of fast running. The new update now presents a softer silhouette but also more dynamic and with a new redesign of its upper that gives it a more racer character, if possible.

The original version of this saga of the New Balance Rebel has had the great privilege of being one of the first silhouettes of the Boston brand to incorporate the innovative FuelCell technology, making it a very successful shoe among a large number of runners, who prioritize speed but with safe and reliable footsteps. For this reason, the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2 Running shoes do not lose their essence, despite the changes introduced. Some changes that we break down in the following lines.

New Balance Fuelcell Rebel v22, main features

As we know, the Fuelcell foam present in these flying Running shoes favors greater reactivity and improves the runner's performance. A technology that, undoubtedly, is already incorporated as standard in this new update of the New Balance Fuelcell Rebel v2

More compression capacity

The result? New Balance has once again done an extraordinary job, because it has evolved this material, adding more compression capacity to present a reactive, soft and light cushioning. This translates into a substantial improvement in propulsion in the toe-off phase with a high level of rebound (14% more energy return as the brand assures), which contributes to accelerate the pace, of course. All this without a carbon fiber plate incorporated, although this new FuelCell compound is the same as the one used in the New Balance FuelCell RC Elite flying shoes with carbon plate.

More comfortable, lighter and more secure fit

The upper of these FuelCell Rebel v2 from New Balance has also undergone a very significant change, because the product developers of the renowned American firm have opted to include a single-layer engineered mesh, to the detriment of the bootie-like effect with knitted fabric. In addition, the heelarea appears more structured and with more padding, while the lacing has a slight displacement of the middle area, pointing towards the big toe. Thus, the upper of this shoe offers a more comfortable, lightweight and secure fit, and thanks to the more dynamic materials used, both flexibility and performance are increased.

Aesthetics and performance in the outsole

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2 also features a new outsole. Yes, there are also new features in this regard. Turning the shoe over you'll quickly notice that it looks different, in a more eye-catching way than its previous version of the New Balance FuelCell Rebel. This second installment of this silhouette incorporates a drawing pattern with patches in different colors, but also with different rubber densities; softer in the coverage area, and more resistant in the strategic points most exposed to wear, such as the sides and the heel area, which implement the NDURANCE material, the most durable and resistant of New Balance. So there is not only an aesthetic change, but also a change in performance.

What are the technical specifications of the New Balance Fuelcell Rebel v2?

In the technical specifications chapter is the only section where everything stays in place and where everything remains the same. With a 6-millimeterdrop, the weights of these FuelCell Rebel v2 maintain similar weights at 204 grams for the men's version, and 167 grams for the women's model.

Optimized for neutral runners, these renewed New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2 are the perfect allies to improve your time in short distance events with a perfect balance between cushioning, response and lightness.

Given the improvements of these New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2... can we talk about one of the best shoes of the year in its category?
