NB Rebel v5 Review [Staff Review]
About as responsive as you could make a shoe without a plate. The heel-to-toe ride could be smoother, but the shoe rewards running faster as there is much more energy return in the toe off than through the heel strike or mid-foot. Has become my go-to long run shoe, and I work it into some threshold days as well.

Better than the Mach 6! [Staff Review]
Definitely a step up from the V4- cushion is bouncier and the shoe feels more comfortable.

Great Tempo Shoe [Staff Review]
Amazing mixture of a support and tempo. I felt much more stable in these than i do in Novablast or Neo Vistas. Would Definitely recommend as a non-plated option.

I love this shoe!!! [Staff Review]
This is my favorite tempo show I�ve used. I use it on any tempo, fartlek run, or workout long run. It seems durrable. And the foam makes for the shoe having very solid return. Running higher mileage the shoe not having a plate makes for a much quicker recovery and is much easier on the legs.

Lightweight and fast [Staff Review]
Midsole is squishy but has strong toe-off. Cushion under forefoot is scant which helps with heel roll.

NB Rebel v5 [Staff Review]
So far have done a mix of easy runs and speedwork with the Rebel. I am enjoying the shoe. The fuelcell foam feels fairly responsive, but a bit softer than I would prefer for speedwork. The shoe has a roomy toebox and a wide base. I felt very stable in this shoe compared to the Evo SL (narrower base) and the Novablast (squishier foam). With the foam being a bit softer, I am wonder how the durability will be. From a style standpoint it is a good looking shoe. Will keep this in the rotation, and continue to test on longer intervals / tempos.

NB FC Rebel v5 Review [Staff Review]
Great underfoot cushion, extremely lightweight, personally felt this was an improvement from previous iteration of this shoe. Only complaint is the fit, which seems to run a bit on the small side.
