The growth of the huge stack shoes has done a job on people thinking shoes like the rebel are "low" stack and cannot go the distance. If we did just fine back in the Kinvara then this shoe has plenty of protection for the miles. Plus the number of reviews I see of this shoe, everyone is calling it minimal or low stack. There is so much midsole compared to shoes like the Kinvara. It's also the "super"shoes that have people thinking those are the only shoes for marathons. I've really enjoyed all the rebels for the half marathon (I don't do marathons). This one is looking great and I cannot wait to run in it.

I’m leaning towards grabbing a pair. Also, A Ginger review will always be one of my favorite reviews…love all the work you do for all your videos!

Got my pair in a couple days ago. This is my first pair of NB after using Hoka and Nike. I am impressed. It's a fast, peppy, stable ride. Not quite as plush and squishy as my previous daily trainers. But they feel good so far. Can ramp up the tempo in these.

I’ve been running in my v4s! Had a great workout with hill repeats the other evening and they feel really fun for the faster efforts. Love this shoe!

I've loved the Rebel V3 for the last couple of marathon training blocks, such a fast and fun shoe! Great review and glad to hear V4 is much of the same, the V4 design looks great too. The Rebel & SC Elite combo has been great and fun to lace up in.

When the first Rebel came out, you and others expressed doubt about its durability. I got a pair, felt amazing running in them, and found them to be pretty durable, though I never had shoes that got dirty as fast & bad as them. So when I saw them on sale, I got a few m ore pairs, and I think I still have a couple of unboxed ones. I run on intervals and tempo sessions roads once or twice a week, and though not tall, I am overweight, but the durability hasn't really been an issue. The cushion doesn't offer much stability, though, and when I took them on a long training run (22k), the next day I had strong foot pain from little muscle that are not used to being so activated. Others feet might be fine, but mine weren't ready.

So all of this to say that perhaps the durability concern might not be an issue with this v.4, but of course time will tell, it is a different version. Next time I'm in the market, I will likely get whatever iteration of the Rebel that's on sale at the moment.

The review I was waiting for. I love my rebel V3 and it’s nice to know I won’t be missing my V3 too much when I upgrade to this one.

I love running in the big brother to this shoe, the SC Elite v.4, and looking forward to getting the Rebel v.4. I have had all the versions of each shoe, a few I didn't love, but this one looks like a winner. I am a big fan of NB, especially their higher cushioned lightweight shoes.

I got mine yesterday. Ran 5 miles in them today and I really like them!!! And they look cool. My 9 year old son wants his own pair.

[SeeChadRun]

Looks like a great shoe! Also, I should buy that hat of yours. Very cool and fun. Also also, I CANNOT wait for your new album to drop! Cheers

Strange that nowadays 30 mm/24 mm stack height is considered to have ground feel and is less protection... we have come a long way from "Born to run" indeed. The OG Kinvara for perspective was 22 mm/18 mm.. THAT is ground feel.

[robertbusby]

These are awesome, have done a few ~6 milers and a 15m run and worked well for that. My legs felt better after the 15 than in any shoes I have worn in years. Has an old school feeling that cushions you without being overly responsive so it can handle a wide range of paces without beating you up if you want to take it easy. Stack height is relative; these would be considered high 4-5 years ago. Haven't been excited about a NB shoe since the original Zante (The new design helps).

v4 arrived in the mail today. Looking forward to first run after 4x pairs of v3

[pgl-films]

I got a pair yesterday and it really awesome 🎉

[HecsBox]

With the V3 on sale right now for only $50 each (for two pairs) at Joe's, it's a no-brainer of an alternative to the V4, which is nowhere near 3X better than the V3 and will likely be liquidated this time next yr. I tend to wait for hype to die down and they go on sale, since being late to the party while I enjoy what I own drastically reduces the impact on my bank account. Keeping up with the Jones' (e.g., YT reviewers) is a money pit for those of us who aren't subsidized. Kudos to the relatively few reviewers, e.g., Hes Kicks, for making a point of reporting good deals when they drop.

Are you also reviewing the new New Balance Fuelcell Venym? It looks like the rebel, has the same midsole and is marketet as the Rebel foe the trails...

[sheridangarrett]

My go to road shoe is the Rebel. Love the snap (not a fan of carbon plates personally so this is perfect).

[TW-rdub]

Certainly interested after Saucony made the Ride 17 bulkier and heavier so now I’m considering other options - Rebel V4 and Mach 6, but the durability of those is what’s holding me back. Keen to see how it holds up.

[xlito]

Had this shoe for a week and i absolutely love it. Just wish i woudlve done a. Half size up but thats a pretty minor issue for me specifically

[andrewbennett]

Watching you roll back onto your heel in that shoe.... The midsole just wanted to fold/collapse at that little ridge where the orange stripe is...
