Reebok Ever Road DMX review

Who should buy the Reebok Ever Road DMX 

Created to give ample underfoot comfort to its wearers through its plush cushioning, this athleisure shoe could be a reliable companion for both athletic walking and casual urban walks. It is a solid choice if: 

• Walking both indoors and outdoors is what you love, and a shoe with excellent traction on both surface settings is what you need. 
•  A shoe that offers reliable functionality but is affordable is what you are after. 

Multisurface outsole grip

The Ever Road DMX employs durable rubber to ensure wear-resistance on concrete pavements. The moving-air pods are placed throughout the unit as part of the cushioning technology.

They are located symmetrically and are molded into the rubber to afford a steady heel-to-toe transition. These pods are also made grippy to deliver traction on various indoor and outdoor surfaces.

Absorbing the shock

This Reebok shoe relies on the DMX FLOW unit for shock absorption and rebound. The brand describes it as a bladder-less moving air technology. The air is contained in the outsole pods and transitions inside the sole as the wearer goes through the walking gait cycle.

This system is incorporated into the full-length foam compound. It is made thicker in the heel section to maximize impact dissipation upon heel strike.

An ultra-soft, full-foot Memory Foam sockliner is added on top of the cushioning unit. It contributes to the plush underfoot comfort.

The Reebok Ever Road DMX's upper

The trainer makes use of a one-piece mesh upper for supportive coverage and a sleek look. It is a tightly-woven mesh material with jacquard-resembling texture.

Supportive panels

The Ever Road DMX receives support during side-to-side movements from the synthetic quarter panels.

They extend up to the instep, integrating into the lacing system by using two pairs of eyelets. The panels draw together to lock down the foot when the laces are tightened.

Snug rearfoot section

Supporting the fit and stability in the rearfoot is an angled heel cup. Its elastic nature allows it to stretch when the foot needs it but keeps the foothold secure once the shoe is on.

The low-cut design of the trainer provides freedom of movement for the ankle. However, the back of the collar is extended and padded to prevent the shoe from slipping off.
