In recent times, Reebok has been delving into its rich heritage, reissuing classic sneakers associated with legends like Allen Iverson and Shaq, particularly following their appointment to lead the new Reebok Basketball division. Adding to this nostalgic journey, Reebok resurrects the ES22, NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith's signature sneaker, for the first time since its last appearance in 2012. Following the successful release of the Club Blue colorway, an Electric Cobalt pair is set to hit shelves very soon.
The Reebok ES22 Electric Cobalt is a harmonious blend of materials and colors, showcasing a combination of mesh, leather, and TPU across its design. The sneaker predominantly features white hues, serving as a canvas for the striking electric cobalt accents. These bold blue details are elegantly placed on the tongue, certain mesh sections on the midfoot, and the midfoot panel nestled between the foam portions wrapping around the shoe.
The heel emphasizes this color scheme with Reebok branding elegantly encased in a jewel-like window. This striking contrast of white and electric cobalt is visually appealing and echoes the sneaker's athletic heritage. Underneath, the shoe has a white and blue Hexalite-cushioned midsole paired with a tonal rubber outsole, ensuring both comfort and a cohesive aesthetic.
The Reebok ES22 Electric Cobalt will release November 17, 2023, through Reebok and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $180.
