Reebok Launches the Nano X2 Training Shoe with Upgraded Fabric

The Nano X2 is Reebok's latest training shoe iteration based on the award-winning Nano franchise. The shoe is designed to meet the needs of athletes and wellness enthusiasts. Performance is the main design requirement for the Nano X2; however, the shoe is also designed to support a range of lifestyle elements for versatility and comfort.

Reebok created the training shoe with ultimate wearability in mind. It includes a re-engineered flexweave knit upper to provide improved protection, breathability, and style. It also features an updated heel shape and clip for a more defined look and increased stability. Additionally, the Nano X2 offers increased comfort due to its floatride energy foam. Consumers can purchase the sneakers starting May 12th.
