Reebok unveils ultra-thin RealFlex sneakers

Reebok introduces RealFlex, an innovative training model that combines the latest two trends in sports shoes: ultra-light running shoes and barefoot running.

The 76 individual elements on the RealFlex outsole function as “sensors”, allowing the foot to easily adapt to any kind of surface. During movement, these "sensors" provide flexibility and mobility of the foot, as when walking or running barefoot, while protecting the foot from possible external injuries that are inevitable when training without shoes.

“With the RealFlex, we embody a desire to create a shoe that follows the natural movement of the foot and provides additional protection,” said Ian Martin, head of strategic business planning at Reebok. "The benefits of the natural movement concept - improved flexibility, stability and comfort - have been used many times in athletic shoe designs, our current challenge was to combine all of these qualities in one shoe that will bring new sensations and experiences to regular sports training." 

The RealFlex shoe collection is designed for both men and women and includes 10 styles made in a variety of color combinations and from various materials - mesh, nubuck and leather.

The RealFlex shoe collection is now available in all Reebok branded stores.
