National, April 23t, 2021 – Reebok releases the new version of its innovation in running footwear: Floatride Energy GROW, the plant-based running shoe for high-performance. It combines the award-winning Forever Floatride Energy model with the commitment and responsibility to protect the environment and strive to create a fitter planet.
Floatride Energy GROW is an industry leading shoe within Reebok´s [REE]GROW category which guarantees at least 50% of the used materials are plant-based. To keep the high-performance standards of the best-in-class running shoe, each component was researched and tested to deliver this innovative product. Key features include:

“Running in the Reebok Floatride Energy GROW has been an eye-opener in seeing what’s possible when you switch from traditional materials to plant-based,” said Joel Charley, COO Midnight Runners UK. “As far as I can tell, there is no sacrifice in performance, and certainly not in style. This no-compromise, sustainable approach is wonderful to experience as Reebok takes steps (no pun intended) towards doing their part for the future of our planet.”
The World Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd and everyone has the power to inspire positive change. Reebok believes “what we´re made of matters” and adapts this to its products without sacrificing performance.
