Whats underneath the New Balance Rebel v4 running shoe? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive review, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at running shoes and running shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the running shoe's functional attributes.
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe shoe playtest, and performance review of the New Balance Rebel v4
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- New Balance running shoe technology explained

thanks for this review! was looking forward to it! seems way different than the fresh foam more v4

[@cristiansanchez3787]

Por favor más de runing mi apreciado Doc 👍🏼

[@pandjichristian7872]

I just got a pair - couldn’t say no to a discount. I am just a runner for fitness. I can agree on your comment about heavier runner, which I am. Don’t know how long these will last. Only tried so far 12km in total and I love them for their smooth transition. I also have the V3s. The V3s are tight at the forefoot and, took a while for me to get more comfortable. V4 on the other hand, is perfect. My feet are what you call “high volume” and I’m in the middle between normal and wide. I got 1080 in wide and they feel a bit “plodding” in comparison. Thanks for the video review!

[@nathaniel23946]

It’s light, it’s bouncy! I love my Rebel V4!

[@jamah84]

Thanks Doc, this was insightful. I’ve been looking at these vs the V3 vs vomero 17 fit more interval style running. As a heavier runner I’m leaning to the 17’s. Superblast look interesting too but @ $200 a bit out of my price range.

[@luigibuckets]

Esperé por esto!

[@RunWithCT9]

I absolutely love mines. Yea the foam won't last as long as the previous version like 250 miles or more but I'm fine with that.

[@tamagotchifps9007]

Thanks man

[@wc4865]

Bro you have hair!!! Makes me wanna get mine done

[@mar1og31]

Hey Zach, what would you choose between the Ja 1s and the freak 4s for outdoors? Which one would be the best for someone like me (lighter and athletic)

[@L9kyy]

Hi Zach, I wanted to ask how big is the Boom insert in Sof's toe? In the video, it is not clear whether it goes to the outsole or there is a cloud layer after it.

[@MinhNguyen-ev1zw]

I know volleyball is not a usual request but can you do the Nike hyperace 3?

[@albertteng1191]

I have the rebel v4 and the elite v4. The elite v4 isnt as soft but bouncier. The rebel v4 is lighter and softer. It is so nice for running and also for walking and standing all day

[@tanjustenbartleyss8523]

Anta zap 1 review pls

[@jjpellergene466]

test some saucony peba shoes pls...

[@arvinsandiego2686]

I really want to have a rebel v4 now 😅

[@tarun2314]

Please review the under armour lockdown 6

[@scottstewart9580]

Is there any current basketball show that works well for hardcourt tennis? I’m a 4.0 player looking for some options.

[@shubhchitaliya2770]

ANTA SHOCKWAVE 5 or SON OF FLASH. Which is better pls help me decide.

[@SimpleShoes1]

You should try Peak Taichi 6.0 they are really bouncy when your running but very mushy when your just walking.

[@MicheleFulceri-bq3fl]

Can you do the 361 pg 4

[@loco46m]

Any recommendations for a running newbie who is prepping for his first marathon in September?😅

[@nassiglutt6587]

Any running shoe from these major brands actually will be fine. Nike pegasus, Adidas ultra boosts, gel kayanos, nb fuel cell, hokas ect. It actually depends on the runner 😂

[@hyperus_au]

Im surprised that there are no shank at all... At first I thought the rebel series would be more of a training shoe for pre-game, but I guess NB has a good reason for such "radical" design since they do have an actual product line carrying the name of "trainer" after all...

[@randomcrits7321]

Kai 1 when

[@nightfall9880]

Can this be a good walking shoes??

[@infernaltim1]

I tried so hard to like these, but the weird extra squishy heel and not as squishy forefoot make them feel like a negative drop to me. Like I'm always running uphill and have to put more effort into turning my feet over. I really wanted to love them, but I'm going to get rid of them.

[@Florent.Laforge]

I have the impression that the front of the foot is very wide and that the wick does not hold the foot well

[@MicheleFulceri-bq3fl]

361 PG 4

[@amirprog]

So kinvara is still better for narrow feet...

[@pochYOLO]

Day 4 of asking for a NB 1080 v13 performance review. Please Doctor Zach

[@kaymarcularte9878]

dr. zach, is this better than the nike invincible 3?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Just depends what you want out of them

[@kaymarcularte9878]

@@FootDoctorZach the cushion. which is softer, dr. zach?

[@pochYOLO]

Day 2 of asking for a New Balance 1080v13 performance review :D

[@marciaaaron6044]

Kawhi 4 please daddy

[@nanezferrer3565]

i dont think this shoe will last

[@jimoconnor8597]

Update: The foam dies a good bit after 100 miles. Similar to the Hoka Rincon V1/V2... Not worth the money...

[@kaymarcularte9878]

how about in comparison with the nike invincible 3?

[@harmony-one741]

how much do you weigh? lighter folks didn't have this issue

[@jimoconnor8597]

@@harmony-one741 I'm light but I think its the forefoot that people are saying is wearing out. As a forefoot striker, the Rincon did the same thing. My good friend (140lbs but forefoot striker) got less than 200 miles on his and the forefoot was noticebly compressed.

[@harmony-one741]

@jimoconnor8597 that's interesting to know. I will let you know how it goes with mine after 100 miles. I am at 139 lbs

[@garyGalay]

Rebel v2~still the better one

[@davidscales1464]

NOTE: It’s a “Peba” blend, not 100 “Peba”.
