How 'Bout Them Cowboys?! The Reebok ES22 Returns in 2023
Memes and jokes aside, the Cowboys have built a fanbase that spans the globe. This is mainly due to the teams from the 90s, and Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith were the cornerstones that led them to two Super Bowls. Smith, the NFL’s all-time leading rusher and Hall of Famer, got a signature sneaker with in 1996 in the ES22, which returns again later this year.
‘It’s fun to see the evolution of ES22 from the very beginning to now,’ commented Emmitt Smith. ‘It means so much to collaborate with Reebok again for the shoe's return, for all fans – young and old.’
Designed by E. Scott Morris, the ES22 was built around Emmitt’s tough yet shifty running style, which is why the signature frame that wraps the shoe was added, similarly seen in car frames. An OG Cowboys-inspired colourway returns, using a black mesh base with anodised blue leather placed on the overlays. Reebok branding is found on the lateral window of the frame as well as on the tongue and heel, the latter featuring Emmitt’s jersey number of 22. Hexalite cushioning is used in the heel and forefoot with a radial lugged outsole finishing off the sneaker.
The Reebok ES22 is set to release on September 15, 2023 via Reebok’s channels and at select retailers for $180. Hit the links below to purchase.
