On March 18, 2022, Reebok announced the launch of their latest cross trainer — the Reebok Nano X2. Touted as the “most wearable…training shoe” in the Nano franchise with a “focus on durability,” the Nano X2 is marketed as shoes athletes can wear while training in the gym or throughout their day. Previous iterations of the shoe include the Reebok Nano X and Reebok Nano X1. Per Reebok’s press release, the notable upgrades from previous versions are as follows:
Reebok Nano X2
- Re-engineered FlexWeave Knit Upper for better breathability.
- Slimmer Heel Shape and Clip to help increase stability.
- Floatride Energy Foam to offer extra support in the forefoot.
The Reebok Nano X2 will be available in men’s and women’s sizes for purchase on Reebok.com/NanoX2 and globally at select retailers on April 8, 2022. Each pair will cost $135 USD. Reebok UNLOCKED members will have early access to a limited-edition release of the Nano X2 Orange Heat, which features an orange colorway.
