Reebok’s NASA “Space Shoes” Go Extremely Hard

Reebok has been making quietly good moves lately. It casually teamed up with a dedicated sneaker page for genuinely nice shoes and continues to cast a well-deserved spotlight on WNBA star and partner Angel Reese. Next on Reebok’s to-do list: make great NASA sneakers. Done.

Reebok’s NASA sneaker collection may be written in the classic collab expression (brand name x brand name). However, like most NASA “team-ups” we’ve seen over the years (OAMC’s stylish wears included), Reebok’s latest drop-off is simply inspired by the American space program, utilizing its logo and overall innovative essence for some seriously cool shoes.

The most captivating shoe in Reebok’s NASA pack is undoubtedly the BB4000 II. Reebok has transformed its iconic basketball shoe into a space boot stamped with the unmistakable NASA logo on the spongey tongue.

The once-layered heel is now more dimensional, finished with padded detailing and 3D molds (plus some back-to-the-future-esque engraving). Elsewhere, the sneaker’s signature overlapping upper is further emphasized through varying stylish textures.

Finally, Reebok paints the shoe in classic moonrock-adjacent hues, like off-white and light grey. Even the sneakers’ bottoms look as if they were fresh off a trip to the celestial object regarded as Earth’s most constant companion (that’s the moon, by the way).

Reebok’s NASA collection has plenty of other sneakers for the space-loving sneakerheads to swoon over, such as a vintage-style Classic Leather Hexalite and a conveniently cool Club C sneaker featuring a zipper “lace” system.

Also among the delivery, Reebok offers an Instapump Fury 94, Nano UNKNWN, FloatZig 1, Court Advance, and Glide shoes. The label ultimately makes each timeless Reebok shoe resemble lost treasures, plucked from space and finally revealed to the world.

Far out, ain’t it?

Anywho, Reebok’s NASA sneakers are scheduled to drop on July 31 on the brand’s website, alongside clothing pieces like tees, hoodies, track jackets, and joggers.

Sadly, a Reebok x NASA spacesuit didn’t make the cut. Then again, the space program already has an undeniably awesome, $220-million uniform on its hands.
