FloatZig 1 combines one of Reebok’s most well-known geometric design silhouettes, the Zig Tech technology, with the industry-leading performance running Floatride Energy Foam, cutting down on excess weight and stiffness to create optimal energy return designed for the everyday runner. Built for new runners, seasoned professionals, and everyone in between, FloatZig 1 offers best-in-class comfort, support, performance, and style at an accessible price point.
“The FloatZig 1 Running Shoes offer industry-leading performance and energy return, suited for even the most elite runners, but built to be accessible and enjoyable for all runners. With both our product and within our irreverent Running Hacks global marketing campaign, we focused on the joy and excitement running can bring to all,” Krinsky adds.
Reebok will highlight FloatZig 1 with Running Hacks, an irreverent global marketing campaign featuring a range of creative ‘hack’ vignettes positioned to make running more fun and more productive, encouraging movement in a comical and lighthearted tone. Headlining the campaign is Reebok’s diverse athlete and talent roster sharing their own unique hacks, including American football standout Justin Fields, college basketball champion Angel Reese, and run-influencer Erin Azar, with their personal vignettes to be unveiled throughout the season ahead.
