I recently tested out the Zoku Runner from Reebok. For a week I swapped out my current gym and exercise sneakers for the Zoku Runner. As soon as I slipped them on I was pleasantly surprised with a sneaker that felt really soft give a lot of support while working working out.

Before looking at the shoe, lets get into the shoe’s background. Taking inspiration from Reebok Classic’s 70s, 80s and 90s designs, the Zoku Runner fuses the brand’s rich heritage with advanced design and directional style. Paying homage to the Zoku Japanese translation – to be continued or to be part of a tribe – the Zoku Runner s a direct descendant of the original Classic, celebrating the brand’s Vector through a modernized and updated silhouette.

A product of evolution, the weaves Reebok’s past into its future, with the brand’s synonymous crosscheck at its core. Created by Reebok’s founders in 1980, the crosscheck brand mark was inspired by a flock of birds and symbolizes momentum and movement, reflecting the idea of continuous evolution. The Zoku Runner reinterprets the symbol in a molded TPU cage for a modern look, playing with translucency and prints to show the versatility of this iconic design. Crafted out of Reebok’s newest upper and most superior digital knitting technology, ULTRAKNIT, the Zoku Runner allows a sock like feel and a fashionable look, as its breathability and ultra-light feel delivers extreme comfort while reducing material waste.

In regards to working out I ran outside on either a blacktop surface or short cut grass. On both surfaces the Zoku Runner gave be a combination of support and flexibility. I love that ULTRANIT technology in that especially running outside in the summer months.

While at the gym when I was lifting weights or doing cardio indoors I felt the exact same support as I did when I was outside. The sole of the shoe give a lot of stability. I wasn’t sliding around the gym floor no matter what part of my body I was working out in.

Outside of the gym I wore the sneakers out when hanging with family and friends. This is the Swiss Army knife of shoes. You can use them to either chill with friends or work up a sweat while exercising. The Zoku Runner by Reebok is a high quality shoe that won’t break the bank and is a perfect show for the spring and summer months. For more on the Zoku Runner go to the Reebok website HERE.

If you are looking to find a heartwarming story this week then you don’t need to look any further. In the lead up to July 4th, actor and veteran Adam Driver is taking a moment to honor the courage and sacrifice of the men and women of America’s armed forces.

Adam, a former member of the Marine Corps, recently teamed up with Budweiser and the Folds of Honor Foundation to deliver a life changing surprise to a military family. The scholarship will help this family’s daughter pursue her dream of becoming a nurse through an educational scholarship.

Adam’s journey to the family’s hometown of Brodheadsville, PA was all captured in a commemorative and emotional video, documenting this special moment.

This on-camera scholarship delivery represents just one of the 2,200 life-changing scholarships Budweiser has helped fund over the past six years with Folds of Honor. Last month in advance of the Memorial Day weekend, Budweiser raised $1 Million for Folds of Honor from the proceeds of every Budweiser America bottle and can sold – culminating in a total of $12 Million donated to Folds of Honor since the start of the partnership in 2011.

Adam Driver said, “I feel very privileged to be a part of the work that Folds of Honor and Budweiser are doing in their support of our military community and highlighting the importance of the family surrounding them.”

For my fellow sneakerheads you know of the store MAJOR. This store has been looking after the sneaker needs of America’s capital city since the store opened in 2006. A metropolitan hub with a rich historical foundation, Washington D.C. is peppered with monuments that are visual reminders of the sacrifices that have shaped the nation.

Inspired by the presence of this resilient spirit – and their love of gritty 90s hip hop styling – MAJOR has collaborated with Reebok to produce the ‘Street Fitness’ Ex-O-Fit.

Launched in 1983, the Ex-O-Fit was one of the first fitness shoes to transition from the gym to the street. Originally produced in Reebok’s signature white ‘garment’ leather, the ‘Street Fitness’ Ex-O-Fit is now cloaked in battle-ready ballistic nylon with a sublimated ‘6-Day Desert’ camouflage print. Custom footbeds display another camo-inspired collage, while abrasion-resistant ‘gum’ rubber and black EVA foam blend seamlessly into the mid-cut silhouette, ensuring things stay comfortable throughout the most grueling urbanmaneuvers. The left and right shoes are also alternately branded with ‘Major’ and ‘Reebok’ logos, lending an asymmetrical edge to the ensemble. Best porn noodlemagazine.com – Girls do porn.

Combining combat chic with athletic aesthetics, Reebok and MAJOR have reminded us all that fitness is essential! The MAJOR x Reebok Ex-O-Fit ‘Street Fitness’ will be released June 24 at MAJOR for $110 /  € 119.95 and will then be available from Reebok Certified Network retailers worldwide on June 30.
