Reebok and Hasbro Reveal POWER RANGERS Shoes
Reebok recently revealed some new shoes made in cooperation with Hasbro for Power Rangers fans to enjoy. The new shoes take a page from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with colors and details from the series that started it all. There’s even a sixth shoe designed around the Megazord. Each pair also features the respective Power Coin on the tongue of the shoe. Most of the shoes are for adults and start at $100 a pair, but there are some available for kids starting around $65 a pair. I think my favorite design is the Club C Men’s Shoes in Yellow because it has the design from the Sabretooth Tiger Zord on the sides. I really am confused by the weird protrusion on the back of the F/S Hi Women’s Shoes for Pink Ranger fans. I know it’s supposed to mirror the belly of the Pterydactyl Zord, but why is it jutting out like that? It just looks weird. Do I just not have an eye for fashion? Oh, also, the boxes can be stacked together to form the Megazord.
Zig Kinetica II Red Ranger ($140) – The Red Ranger’s impressive athleticism and powerful personality pairs perfectly with Reebok’s all-new Zig Kinetica II. The Zig Kinetica II Red Ranger also features a jagged toe box to represent the Tyrannosaurus Zord’s teeth with silver Zord accents along the midsole. Also available in Zig Dynamica for grade school and preschool.
Nano X1 Black Ranger ($150) – This version of Reebok’s most versatile training shoe yet, the Nano X1, was inspired by the Black Ranger’s sleek look, agility and speed. The Nano X1 Black Ranger allows you to perform a wide range of physical activities in style. The shoe even features a heel tab design that references the Black Ranger’s signature 90s fashion sense. Available in adult sizing.
Club C Legacy Blue Ranger ($120) – Rather than being at the forefront of every fight, the Blue Ranger’s power comes from within. This Club C Legacy pays homage to the Blue Power Ranger’s work through the translucent sole, which shows an important aspect of the shoe that is often shrouded by the outsole. The sneaker also includes a white collar and heel blocking to resemble the design of the Triceratops Zord’s crown. Available in adult, grade school and preschool sizing.
Freestyle Hi Pink Ranger ($120) – Reebok’s Freestyle Hi, the first workout shoe made exclusively for women, is the perfect silhouette to represent the Pink Ranger, known for promoting individual empowerment and investing in others by teaching aerobics at her community center. The shoe also incorporates pink stripes down the front of the upper that make reference to the Pterodactyl Zord, as well as a green broken heart on the inside strap that alludes to the Pink Ranger’s relationship with the Green Ranger. Available in women’s, grade school and preschool sizing.
Club C Yellow Ranger ($100) – The Club C, a silhouette known for its’ adaptability from the skate park to the tennis court, matches the Yellow Power Ranger’s signature versatility. In addition to Zord markings, the Club C Yellow Ranger features a wing logo on the back of the tongue as a tribute to Yellow Ranger actress Thuy Trang. Available in adult sizing.
Question Mid Megazord ($180) – The Question Mid Megazord features a range of markings to represent the Zord, from the black and yellow logo on the tongue that resembles Zord eyes to the V-printed eyelets that emulate Zord teeth. The shoe also includes a question mark on the right toe with an M for Megazord.
All of the shoes will be available from Reebok’s website and retailers with the exception of the Question Mid Basketball Shoes for the Megazord exclusive to Reebok’s site on June 29. Which pair is your favorite?
