Anyone have comments on the current product Reebok has available, trainers and / or racers? Excluding the Flex models, is there anything which competes with a Nike Pegasus or Brooks Ravenna model?
The 2013 product I've seen is retro DMX stuff, not very appealing. Anything else coming out which is note worthy?
???? Thoughts, comments?
It seems with Reebok the current focus is all the "flex" shoes at the mainstream big box and that is all I know of Reebok, I wonder what Willis trains/races in? I really do not think Reebok cares about specialty because of the big market influence- flex shoes, crossfit, big box.
Willis actually trains in the flex
Someone I know who used to work for Reebok told me that Reebok can never decide to get either fully into or fully out of making running shoes. Another guy I know who works at a running shop says Reebok's not even making running shoes now. I don't think he counts the Flex shoes as real running shoes though you will find them in the running shoe section at the big box stores.
At the 2011 Boston Marathon Expo I was at the Reebok booth and asked Kim Smith what she was going to race in because as far as I knew, Reebok had no racing shoe. She pulled out this really nice looking and feeling racer that she said would be on the market in "a few months." But it never was.
Reebok strikes me as similar to Puma in their approach to the running shoe market; they're never quite there but never quite gone.
On their site, appears they have a few good models aside from the flex line; solid looking shoes with good technology.
With company ownership by adidas group, you'd think they might use several adidas platforms for the reebok models.
Your last sentence sums up Reebok quite nicely.
