The Reebok Engine A represents an important milestone for the brand as Reebok’s first new performance basketball model since the Allen Iverson era, marking the first chapter in a renewed push onto the hardwood that has since expanded with the debut of the inaugural Angel Reese signature shoe. Its first year on shelves has already delivered plenty of highlights, including an Angel Reese PE, a “Green Glow” pair for Halloween, and even a mismatched green and yellow edition timed to the Allen Iverson documentary. To close out the year, the brand is introducing a dusky “Purple Fusion” colorway for the colder months.
The Engine A features a one piece molded synthetic upper, ERS cushioning for energy return, and Reebok’s SuperFloat foam for added shock absorption. The result is a true positionless design, which makes sense given Reebok’s intention for this to be the go-to model for its growing stable of hoops athletes. This “Purple Fusion” style keeps things dialed in while still looking sharp, built with a mostly monochrome exterior, white Reebok logos, and a brighter, more attention grabbing shade on the traction underfoot.
The Reebok Engine A “Purple Fusion” releases November 26th via Reebok in men’s sizing for $120. See official images below and check our Sneaker Release Dates page for more upcoming basketball shoes.
