First adoption of lightweight cushioning material. Reebok releases "Floatride," a genuine long-distance running shoe.

Reebok is launching "Floatride," a genuine long-distance running shoe featuring its proprietary lightweight cushioning material. Pre-orders begin Sunday, March 26, with the official release on Saturday, April 1.

Born from years of dedicated development, "Floatride" is a long-distance running shoe designed for serious runners.

To create this shoe, 300 runners participated in product testing over the course of a year.

Its most significant feature is the cushioning material used in the midsole.

The "Floatride Foam," developed in-house, achieves a balanced midsole by carefully formulating the material to ensure uniform cell size within the foam.

This results in a material that offers both cushioning and responsiveness, while being approximately half the weight of conventional EVA foam.

This allows for superior shock absorption during long-distance runs, reducing strain on the feet and supporting a comfortable stride.

The upper utilizes a lightweight, seamless Ultraknit mesh for excellent breathability and flexibility.

A resin frame, known as the "EVA Support Rim," is integrated into the midfoot to stabilize the foot's axis, minimizing gait instability and supporting a more consistent run.

Additionally, the outsole's wavy rubber design maintains consistent ground contact from heel to toe, facilitating a smoother run.

The shoes will be available for pre-order starting Sunday, March 26, at the Reebok Online Shop, Reebok's directly managed stores "Reebok Fit Hub," and select sports retailers. General sales commence Saturday, April 1.
