REEBOK FLOATRIDE RS
After re-establishing themselves in the running game with the Floatride Run, the obvious next step for Reebok was to explore what else they could do with this springy midsole technology. Naturally, the temptation for the Floatride Run designers was to “uncage” the upper, removing the plastic framing that gives the shoe its performative structure, and see what happens.
The Floatride RS is just that – an entirely knit upper, with a smooth ankle collar and lacing system for a bit of foot stability. Underfoot is the same Floatride midsole as Reebok’s “caged” version. This shoe looks hip and clean, and is ideal for easy runs, but probably isn’t going to be your next long run, mega-mileage companion. What it does indicate is that there’s lots of potential with the Floatride platform for future Reebok running creations.
