The Engine A was designed for today’s game; fast, unpredictable and explosive. Whether you're pulling up from deep or finishing strong at the rim, this sneaker is a winner. The Exoskeleton Upper locks you in while keeping things light and breathable, so your feet stay cool under pressure.
The High-Abrasion Rubber Outsole with a multi-directional herringbone traction pattern ensures elite grip for those split-second crossovers, step-backs, and drives to the rack. Slipping? Not in these.
Reebok’s Energy Return System (ERS) Midsole is where the magic happens. This isn’t just any old cushioning, it's a SuperFloat-infused, Nitrogen-charged bounce that absorbs impact and gives back energy with every step. That means more hang time, more quick cuts, and more ankle-breaking moves.
Reebok tapped the legendary Mobius DNA for inspiration, blending bold design with next-gen performance. The one-piece molded upper gives that sleek, modern look, while the throwback detailing keeps it authentic to Reebok’s hoops heritage.
Angel Reese, Lexie Brown, Matas Buzelis, Nate Ament, and Dink Pate have all worn the Engine A in various leagues! If they trust it, you know it’s built for the big stage.
Marvin Baroota, founder of SoLegit Customs, couldn’t have created a more fitting custom sneaker for Angel Reese ahead of her Unrivaled debut. She teamed up with the Chicago-based designer, who kept her rookie season fresh with custom kicks for an eye-catching take on the Reebok Engine A.
It’s been over 10 years since Reebok dropped a performance basketball shoe. Now, they’re back with something special, not just another sneaker, but a symbol of Reebok reclaiming its spot in the game. The Engine A launched in its debut Silver colorway in February. 2025
