Michael Hesterberg, Director of Design at Reebok, shared a statement about the design inspiration of the  Engine A “Solar Lime.”

“The Engine A’s SS25 colorway line-up takes cues from the light and colors we see within a full day, from sunup to sundown.

We looked to the different types of basketball play – whether it be early morning cardio to night games on the blacktop - to put a literal color filter on the silhouette to express motion in a vivid and exciting way,” Hesterberg said.

“The Engine A – Solar Lime pays homage to our past through the electric colors of twilight zone but reimagined as a visual metaphor for ‘night vision’, the colors we see when the sun sets, and other worldly forms of vision may arise,” he added.

“Here, you see other worldly neon and alien greens takeover the mobius design blocking, to create a colorway that pops even on the darkest nights.”
