Spring is here! Got these 3 days ago. Only managed to clock a short test run due to the rainy weather. Looking forward to comparing these to the mach 4.

Yes! Please feed back on Mach 4 comparison. I'm debating getting the Mach 4 for longer easier runs and allow the Rebel to be a tempo/speedier run shoes.

Happy cake day! I ordered the mach 4 and should be arriving later this week. Will report back. Meanwhile you can check out the shootout done by this youtuber

They look fresh! Will be looking forward to your comparison.
How supportive do they feel? I might be mistaken, but in the photo it looks it might be a bit loose around the ankles?

Yes you are right that it's not very tight around the ankles but I had minimal heel slip in my test run. All around a comfortable pair of shoes.

how does the fuel cell midsole feel? ties between these and the mach 4 for a more responsive daily trainer but still looking for some soft cushion .

Rebel: soft, responsive, cushioned, fun, natural stride, does not bottom out, light, breathable. Best for midfoot or forefoot strikers. Bounce helps keep you running along
Mach 4: cushioned, smooth, light, not as responsive but predictable, about average experience no wow factor but still solid, better option for heel strikers. Rocker keeps you moving along.
Durability I think the rebel will be more durable. I saw a lot of wear in my mach 4 before returning them.
Also the rebel feels like has as much cushion if not more than the 1080 at the forefoot fwiw. Just an observation comparing my retired 1080s.

It feels really soft and bouncy but most comparisons with mach 4 by online reviewers described Mach 4 as a plusher and more cushioned ride.

How narrow are they in the midfoot? Liking how they look and I've heard good things about them, but I'm a bit concerned if they're very narrow since I have flat feet
Hey there I have flat feet (not super flat) too and I did experience a bit of arch pain on my left side but that could be just me adjusting from another pair of firm shoes. The front is spacious but I had to size up half size from a previous NB model. My feet is wide too and these are actually quite spacious
Cool! Thanks, good to know!
