Reebok Brings Back Emmitt Smith’s ES22 Training Shoe

With the arrival of fall just around the corner, Reebok has officially announced the return of Emmitt Smith’s ES22 signature model.

The turf training sneaker was worn by the legendary football player back in 1996, and now the Reebok ES22 is set to re-release in a cool “Club Blue” outfit. The silhouette’s name is wholly dedicated to Smith and his number, 22, who was an all-team leading rusher, three-time champion, and 2010 Hall of Fame inductee. The pair was built to complement Smith’s explosive playing style, his speed and lateral quickness, and to protect his feet from every brutal encounter.

The pair features Reebok’s unique design language of the mid-’90s and is equipped with the brand’s Viz-Hex technology and visible Hexalite (Reebok’s ground-breaking honeycomb-shaped cushioning technology) via the outsole. Rounding out the final design cues are the ghillie lacing system and distinct ‘broken-glass’ Reebok branding elements throughout.

“It’s fun to see the evolution of ES22 from the very beginning to now,” commented Emmitt Smith. “It means so much to collaborate with Reebok again for the shoe’s return, for all fans – young and old.”

Mark your calendars as the Reebok ES22 “Club Blue” is set to release on September 15 via Reebok.com and select retailers for $180. Keep it locked to our Reebok Release Dates Page for updates.
