This February, Reebok launched the FloatZig 1 running shoes, combining the brand’s performance-oriented Floatride Energy Foam with Zig Tech technology in the midsole shape.
Now, Reebok is introducing two new models to the franchise, the FloatZig X1 and the FloatZig 1 Adventure, alongside fresh colourways for the FloatZig 1 and FloatZig Symmetros.
Ready to take on the Nike Alphafly and the Adidas Adizero Pro, the most exciting newcomer model is admittedly the FloatZig X1. Priced at $200, it’s a high-performance running shoe built for marathon racing and long-distance training.
The FloatZig X1 features a full-length carbon fibre plate, dual-density foam layers, and a deconstructed engineered mesh upper, all designed to give runners a responsive, energy-efficient ride.
Weighing in at just 9.1oz with a 6mm drop, it's the perfect blend of speed and stability. Stack height isn't stated, but it's safe to say it'll be close to the 40 mm limit set by the World Athletics.
For the trailblazers, the FloatZig 1 Adventure (priced at $150) offers extra traction and durability for outdoor exploits.
Its sticky rubber outsole with angled lugs and a no-debris plate base ensures you can tackle any terrain with confidence.
