Reebok is set to kick off 2024 with a nostalgic nod to the gridiron glory days, specifically honoring Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith with the release of the Reebok ES22 Big Game. This release commemorates the 30th Anniversary of Smith's first MVP and championship-winning season and arrives in time for this year’s Super Bowl.
Reebok continues to delve into its archives to bring back iconic models, and the revival of the ES22 is a testament to the enduring legacy of its collaboration with one of the NFL's greatest running backs. This mindset follows a successful model relaunch last year, further solidifying its place in the realms of athletic and lifestyle footwear. Alongside this pair, the Preseason '94 is also getting a Big Game makeover.
The ES22 Big Game edition is designed to capture the essence of Emmitt Smith's remarkable season with a color scheme that subtly nods to the intensity and prestige of the Super Bowl. The sneaker combines nubuck and mesh materials to create a texturally rich and visually appealing upper in a grey, silver, and black palette. The design is anchored by Reebok's innovative Viz-Hex cushioning technology, ensuring comfort and performance. Additionally, the sneaker incorporates a robust lugged outsole for unmatched traction, a ghillie lacing system for a secure fit, and distinctive "broken-glass" branding elements that highlight its unique aesthetic.
The Reebok ES22 Big Game will release on February 9, 2024, through Reebok and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $180.
