In 1990, Reebok released one of their most iconic running sneakers, the Ventilator. Incorporating Hexalite technology into the shoe to provide greater comfort and better shock absorption, the shoe was perfect for light running. The durable lugged outsole was designed to give sure-footed traction for both on-and-off-road running.

Twenty-five years later the shoe is considered a classic. Still keeping the fundamentals of the shoe, it is now worn for street fashion instead of road running. As Reebok celebrates 25 years of the Ventilator in 2015, three of the original colorways return in their true form. Reebok’s newest member, Kendrick Lamar, has been seen rocking this authentic Reebok shoe that will launch on Jan. 17 at Reebok.com and select Reebok retailers.
