Welcome back to Sole Stats Dash! Today we’re taking a close look at a new shoe on the scene: the New Balance SuperComp Rebel.
The SuperComp Rebel is stepping in to replace the SuperComp Trainer within New Balance’s lineup, and it draws clear inspiration from the original Rebel — you can see it in the overall shape right away.
Weight
This shoe is light. We’re talking 7.4 oz in the men’s and 6.1 oz in the women’s, making it a great option for your longer, faster efforts — whether that’s race day or a hard training session.
Stack Height & Ride
The SuperComp Rebel comes in at a 36mm stack in the forefoot and 40mm in the heel, giving you a ride built for speed without sacrificing that plush, protected feel underfoot.
FantomFit Upper
New Balance is using their FantomFit upper here, designed to be super lightweight and essentially disappear on foot — and in this model, it delivers. Every element, from the tongue through the sides, is impressively light. Despite that, it holds up well: two layers of mesh along the sides keep your foot locked in securely without adding bulk.
Infinion Midsole
The midsole is built entirely from New Balance’s Infinion foam, and it’s incredibly soft. You’ll notice it the moment you put the shoe on, even before you take your first stride. Once you’re moving, that softness really shows up in the heel — yet the shoe stays remarkably stable through your full gait cycle.
Energy Arc Geometry & Carbon Plate
New Balance paired their Energy Arc geometry with a carbon-infused plate to keep the shoe stiff and efficient, especially when you’re up on your toes. The combination of the plate, the rocker, and that Infinion foam keeps you energized stride after stride.
Outsole
You can see the SuperComp Rebel’s inspiration carry through in the outsole rubber placement too — minimal rubber on the medial and lateral heel to save weight, paired with full coverage through the mid- and forefoot right where you need it most.
Where to Try It
The New Balance SuperComp Rebel is available now in men’s and women’s sizing for $200 at Charm City Run Annapolis, Bel Air, Columbia, Fells Point, Rehoboth Beach, and Timonium. Come in and try on this seriously impressive trainer!
