New Balance has revamped its SuperComp Trainer with the SuperComp Rebel v1, offering a new take on super-cushioned training shoes. The Rebel features a 40 mm/36 mm stack, a 4 mm drop, and weighs 215 g for men and 174 g for women. Priced at $260, it is available now.

The Rebel's upper is made of breathable engineered mesh, providing a snug and comfortable fit. However, sizing may vary, with some runners recommending going up a half size to avoid pressure or blistering. The Infinion foam midsole offers shock absorption and durability, though it may not feel as fast as a race shoe. Read more gear coverage.

The shoe includes a carbon plate with strategic cutouts for a stiff launch pad, enhancing the running experience. The outsole rubber protects the plate and provides excellent grip on various surfaces, though it may not perform well in harsh winter conditions. Related: HOKA's 2026 Trail Running Shoes Reviewed.
