4 Best Reebok Sneakers in 2024

With over thirty years of continuing legacy, it wasn't a surprise that the Reebok Club C 85 emerged as the best of the best among all Reebok sneakers. During our intensive lab testing, the kicks exhibited enduring resilience against abrasions, stains, and even the elements. The comfort it provides is immaculate, and its featherlight silhouette makes the overall experience divine.

We spent countless hours testing numerous Reebok sneakers, but what made the Club C 85 stand out was its long-lasting durability. We intentionally scratched it using a power drill fitted with a metallic brush, yet the gritty leather upper remained unbothered, showing almost no signs of wear and tear. This was mirrored when we took the kicks on the road. After several weeks of wearing, the C85 still looks as if it were fresh out of the box.

In our stain and water resistance test, the C85 also passed with flying colors. The leather repelled a significant amount of water, keeping the interior dry. We also found the upper to be stain-resistant and very easy to clean. A simple wipe and they are as good as new.

During our walks around town, we also discovered that the kicks are incredibly lightweight on the foot. They are highly breathable, and even without socks, they feel surprisingly comfortable.

However, it's worth noting that the Reebok Club C 85 does fit somewhat loosely. We don't recommend them to people shopping for sneakers that fit true-to-size.

Just one look at the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage, and we could already say, “That is what vintage looks like.” Oh, the nostalgia that it triggered; and it was even made of real classic leather!  More than just retro looks and feel, this shoe also delivered amazing upper durability and a pretty lightweight structure. Because of all this goodness, we think this one is the best vintage shoe that Reebok has come up with so far.

We ascertained the authenticity of the leather used in the upper by subjecting it to open flame from our torch. The smell of burning air was unmistakable, so was its resistance to being burned.

Being made of real leather, we expected the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage to resist our Dremel drilling. We were not disappointed. The mark left by the Dremel’s high-pressure assault was no more than a scratch! Hence, it got a 4 out of 5 for toebox durability. 

Our weighing scale in the lab showed that this shoe weighed 11.96 ounces or 339 grams. This number is way lower than the 14.04 oz (398g) average we have on record. No wonder our feet never felt burdened even after walking for a long time in this shoe.

Stay away from the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage, though, if you are a wide-footer. This shoe tapers too sharply toward the toe. The toebox at its widest was 97.5 mm wide while the big toe point was only 69.8 mm wide.

Reebok Classic Leather embodies timeless elegance and top-of-the-line quality, earning its title as the best classic pair from Reebok. This sneaker has that ageless appeal that just looks marvelous in whatever era. We found that the value for the price of $75 is just tremendous, from versatility and robustness to the enjoyable foot sensation. To cap it all, it is 36.1% more affordable than most sneakers.

Time isn’t the only thing that this sneaker defied but also wear and tear. We discovered that it withstands outdoor use and external elements exceptionally well. On the other hand, inside this sneaker, our feet found solace. We totally get a kick out of the plush midsole and well-padded interior that made us not mind prolonged hours on our feet.

The problem we found about this classic gem is it is susceptible to dirt. Therefore, constant wiping is a must. Unless you can look past this, we suggest going for other classics with materials that are not prone to easily looking trashed.

We hailed Allen Iverson’s Reebok Question Mid as the king of basketball in Reebok’s sneaker army because of its no-frills traction, reliable breathability, and amazing stability. The Question Mid is already a lifestyle sneaker, but we surely didn’t mind wearing it in a few ball games. And it still worked!

Stopping on a dime was never an issue during our wear-tests. It did not even matter what type of surface we were playing or walking on. Hardwood, concrete, asphalt; the Reebok Question Mid didn’t have any qualms biting them all.

Despite its unusual thickness (14.3 mm vs the 9.2 mm average), the tongue was still able to let air in and out of the shoe. We confirmed this during our breathability assessments in the lab, pushing us to give this shoe an impressive 4 out of 5 for ventilation.

The platform of this basketball sneaker was wide, especially around the heel area. Our caliper measured that part to be 96.9 mm wide when the average was only 91.6 mm. Also, our manual assessments pushed us to give this shoe a 4 out of 5 for torsional rigidity. The wide platform and firm base allowed us high levels of stability and surefootedness.

At 16.90 ounces or 479 grams, this shoe was definitely heavier than average (14.18 ounces or 402 grams). We felt it, especially during our first steps.
