The Reebok Floatride Energy 5 Makes Giant Leap Forward

The Reebok Floatride Energy 5 running shoe features impressive technology and an unbeatable price.

With the weather warming up, it is time for runners to hit the pavement. Luckily for athletes of all ages, Reebok has released the latest iteration of the award-winning Floatride Energy franchise.

The Reebok Floatride Energy 5 is designed with every runner in mind. The performance running shoe offers the most cushioning and support yet while remaining at an accessible price.

“Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or lacing up for the first time, the new Floatride Energy 5 is built to support runners at every level of their running journey,” says Keith Stern, Director of Product at Reebok. “It’s built for the love of running. With the most support yet, the Floatride Energy 5 helps new and experienced runners run more comfortably.”

The Reebok Floatride Energy 5 officially launched on Friday, March 31. The highly-anticipated shoes were released in a wide range of energetic colorways for $110 on the Reebok website.

The most notable change to the fan-favorite shoe is the completely redesigned Floatride Energy Foam midsole. A wider and taller base helps improve stability and cushioning, and a newly introduced midfoot X-Plate adds torsion support for a responsive run. 

Additionally, a sculpted heel and midfoot help reduce unnecessary weight. Below is a deeper breakdown of what runners (novice and advanced) need to know about the revamped shoe.

According to the product description online, the Reebok Floatride Energy 5 weighs an unbelievable 9.4 ounces. Advanced runners will be happy to learn the midsole drop is 8 mm. But again, Reebok built these shoes for everyone.

The Speed Shift 2.0 Upper is another important component of the model's evolution. The upper provides breathability and durability in a lighter, more comfortable material. In addition, this shoe qualifies as a Reebok [REE]CYCLED product, which means at least 30% of the upper material is made from recycled materials.

If you run, then you're a runner. These Reebok shoes are designed to support you regardless of distance or pace. Now is the perfect time to invest in one of the more popular shoes on the market before they fly off the shelves.
