Reebok introduces the latest iteration of the Workout Plus sneaker model for the season, continuing to grow its expansive range of footwear. The design is inspired by the notable tote bag that is prominent during the warmer seasons of the year, specifically in New England. This spotlights the shoe's upper, as it is made from both canvas and textile materials.
It also features details including the double rubber cupsole unit, textile lining, and lace enclosure. It also is cut in a relaxed shape to entire that it is ready for athletic movements with every stride. The brand ensures sustainable elements as it sits on top of the signature EVA foam midsole foundation, which is a substitute for natural rubber, neoprene, polyurethane, and vinyl.
