Delivers traction and flexibility
A rubber layer makes up the outsole unit of the Reebok Fusion Flexweave. It was proven to be successful in protecting the platform’s foam from the abrasive nature of the asphalt. It also provides traction via its non-prominent gripping nodes.
Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal grooves permit multidirectional flexibility. These shallow trenches also direct underfoot support to the area of contact or the section that would most likely need it most.
Fusion Flexweave is a lightweight shoe
The Reebok Fusion Flexweave has a Floatride foam core, which is touted to be significantly more lightweight than most options on the market.
Its is able to provide responsive cushioning throughout the running session. This midsole foam is as durable as the cushioning used in the Brooks Launch 6. An ethylene vinyl acetate or EVA foam serves as a rim or carrier unit for the core material.
It retains the structural integrity of its charge while also complimenting it with a bit more cushioning.
Encourages ankle freedom and speedier pace
The upper unit of the Reebok Fusion Flexweave features the Flexweave technology. It is a textile that is constructed using a figure-eight weave. Such a design strengthens the structure of the façade while also accommodating the natural shape of the wearer’s foot.
Moreover, it has minute pores that permit air into the foot-chamber. The low-cut design of this model encourages ankle freedom and speedier movements. It also follows the current design trends.
Reebok Fusion Flexweave offers a snug and secure fit
A heel clip is fused to the back of the shoe. This external layer holds the foot in place and prevents it from wobbling or exiting the interior involuntarily. The thinly padded tongue and collar support the upper sections of the wearer’s foot. These parts of the product also prevent accidental shoe-removals.
A traditional lacing system with discreet synthetic eyelets helps the textile silhouette when it comes to providing a snug and secure fit.
Two pull tabs are placed on the upper. One is on the instep while the other is on the back part of the collar. These two loops reportedly make it easier for runners to both wear and remove the Reebok Fusion Flexweave.
