Reebok Aztrek 96 Adventure review

Who should buy the Reebok Aztrek 96 Adventure

This trail-inspired Reebok sneaker is a good match for you if:

• You want a shoe with traditional laces with re-enforced tongue webbing for a personalized fit
• You are after a sneaker with an effortless lacing system for quick on and off

Size and fit

These trail-inspired shoes are made available in both genders’ sizing. With half sizes also available, those who are more comfortable going half sizes up can actually choose to do so. But it is also recommended to go one’s usual size as these shoes fit true to size. As for the fastening system, the traditional laces with re-enforced with tongue webbing can be adjusted for a more personalized fit. 

Style of the Reebok Aztrek 96 Adventure

Having a more rugged appearance than the previous model, Reebok's Aztrek 96 Adventure sneakers have a re-designed upper inspired by hiking styles. This beefed-up “Adventure’ makeup gives the classic Aztrek 96 a chunky look.

Although it retains the overall shape of its predecessor, the style is particularly different thanks to the added rugged materials and extra suede overlays. Moreover, the rugged upper combines textures and materials for an adventure-ready vibe. 

The bold pops of the multicolored mesh and suede upper show off a hiking-inspired aesthetic. Several colorways are available for these sneakers.

Each pair offers a bold palette as well: the lighter version’s colorway is light with a purple base and tan/teal/pink accents, while the other looks towards the darker end of the spectrum with a gray-colored version or the black base and grey/volt/teal/purple embellishments.

When it comes to styling these “adventurous” pairs, any sporty or casual ensemble will go perfectly well with them. One can choose a pair of denim, relaxed jeans, or shorts that are topped with plain shirts and tank tops. A trail-inspired ensemble is also ideal as well. 

Notable Features

Reebok’s update on the Aztrek 96 gives the upper a little rugged look with materials that are made from genuine suede, leather, and mesh with reflective elements that add a light-catching flash. The pull tabs make for an easy on and off. 

Additionally, the pair features a shock-absorbing EVA midsole cushioning that is lightweight providing all-day comfort with every stride. The midsole is set on a chunky, color-pop rubber outsole that features improved traction and durability with a diamond tread design.
