Reebok Designs the Retro ERS 4000 Sneaker Model

— August 23, 2024 — Fashion
Reebok brings attention to its ERS 4000 sneaker model once again as it was originally launched during the late 80s. It has since gone through a few upgrades in the following decade and returns in a clean makeover once again this year. The namesake stands for Energy Return System and it is due to its technical base foundation.

The silhouette rests on top of a propulsive sole technology that ensures to offer a trampoline-like bounce. It has been integrated into a few sneaker models in past eras. This time around, the sneaker has a relatively minimal design with a white and orange colorway or a blue option on the brand's website. It is finished with a cushioned EVA foam midsole.
