Reebok recently announced a collaboration with the U.S. toy manufacturer “Hasbro.” Together, the two companies are now releasing their first-ever Reebok x Power Rangers collection. The capsule collection is inspired by the original TV series “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers,” which first aired in the ’90s.
The series follows five teenagers who team up to fight evil. Their greatest enemy is the wicked witch Rita Repulsa, whom the Power Rangers defeat using the elements to save the world. Along the way, the five must also deal with typical teenage problems.
If you’re not familiar with the series yet—or if you’d like to take a trip back to your childhood—now’s your chance. Here are a few of the best moments from the TV series to get you in the mood:
Of course, there’s also a reboot of the series and various movies based on this Hasbro franchise. But back to the shoes...
The Reebok x Power Rangers collection features five performance and lifestyle silhouettes from Reebok. The Zig Kinetica II, the Nano X1, the Club C Legacy, the Freestyle Hi, the Club C, and the Question Mid are part of the capsule collection. Each shoe represents one of the Power Rangers.
The Zig Kinetica II embodies the Red Ranger’s impressive athleticism and powerful personality. The sneaker features a red upper accented with yellow elements. The toe box features silver spikes that run along the sides of the shoe, representing the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus Zord.
The Nano X1’s design is inspired by the Black Ranger’s agility and speed.
It features a black mesh upper accented with green details. Yellow elements are found on the distinctive midsole and the heel tab. A silver overlay with a metallic finish runs from the midfoot to the heel.
The Club C represents the Blue Ranger. The sneaker’s upper is finished in dark blue.
Silver accents adorn the heel, tongue, laces, and toe box. The midsole is transparent black, allowing the rubber outsole to show through.
The Freestyle Hi is modeled after the Pink Ranger’s look.
The white upper features pink stripes on the midfoot, which are meant to reference the Pterodactyl Zord. Metallic accents on the heel emphasize the silhouette’s futuristic look.
A green, broken heart appears on the inside of the Velcro strap. The heart alludes to the relationship between the Pink Ranger and the Green Ranger.
The fifth shoe in the collection, the Club C, is inspired by the Yellow Ranger’s adaptability and signature versatility.
It therefore features a yellow upper. Red and blue accents adorn the sides and heel of the silhouette. An element on the heel shimmers in metallic silver. The black tongue and black laces round out the look.
If that’s not enough for you, we recommend the MEGAZORD: Reebok x Power Rangers Question Mid. The Megazord—also known as the Dino Megazord, Mighty Morphin’ Megazord, or Original Megazord—combines five Dinozords: Tyrannosaurus, Mastodon, Triceratops, Sabertooth Tiger, and Pterodactyl... and it’s on display:
