Best Reebok Sneakers

Reebok proves that the label continues to be on the pulse of what is new and trending in fitness. It continues to produce styles that are not only stylish but super functional.

A classic will always remain a classic. Reebok is a classic brand that’s consistently remained a player in the field by delivering standout sneakers since the ’80s. Named after an African antelope, Reebok was founded in 1958 and established in Great Britain, which explains why the Union Jack was a part of the brand’s logo until 1986. Reebok came over to America in 1979, settling its headquarters near Boston.

It was the brand’s Freestyle aerobics shoe that put the company on the map, followed by its release of what became one of the biggest sneakers fad of the ’80s. Called the Reebok Pump, the chunky shoe was popular as it featured a revolutionary internal inflation mechanism that allowed users to customize the fit. In 1991, basketball Dee Brown wore the shoes at a dunk contest during the NBA All-Star Weekend, commencing the brand’s relationship with not only the sport but also high-profile athletes like Dennis Rodman and Shaquille O’Neal. Shortly after, the boldly designed Shaqnosis launched as a collaboration with the NBA legend. A few years after that came Allen Iverson’s signature shoe, The Question. This high-performing basketball sneaker was a first, since never before then did a rookie have his own shoe in his debut year.

In 1997, the DMX running sneaker debuted with new technology that allowed airflow to distribute throughout the sole for complete support. This shoe continues to be popular with modern renditions and collabs, and is even offered in a trail-ready version.
