Upper
The Reebok Zquick’s upper is especially soft and lightweight, offering up corded lacing that’s been designed to give you a superior fit. There are plenty of technical details that make the shoe stand out above the rest and serve to provide you with an excellent running experience. The upper itself is made of a mesh material that’s constructed in a way that will offer maximum breathability as you’re running, keeping your feet nice and cool and dry.
Midsole
The Reebok Zquick has a midsole that offers a high level of pliability as well as a ground fell that’s unlike most competing running shoes in the field. There’s also a midsole foam that offers some level of cushioning, though admittedly not a substantial amount. The midsole was designed to take up a high level of impact while still retaining the feedback from the ground. This Z-rated midsole was specifically cooked up to give superior performance under pressure, allowing you to push this shoe to the limit.
Outsole
One of the main things that distinguish the Reebok Zquick from the competition is its Z-rated outsole as well as its Nanoweb technology. This is perfect for runners who are looking for a good option for spring and summer, especially considering that the setup of the Reebok Zquick is considerably different from any other. It has unique outsole geometry that’s specifically designed for superior control. This outsole is suitable for just about any type of run you might need it for.
Breathability
One of the most immediately noticeable features about the Reebok Zquick is the airy breathability of the product. This will become immediately apparent when you’re out on the road or the trail for a run, your feet kept cool and dry even despite the hard work you’re putting in. The open mesh that’s been installed on the shoe is what primarily guarantees this breathability, with a light weight that will ensure that you get all the benefits of the breathability without the hassle of adding any weight to the shoe.
Comfort
The comfortability of the Reebok Zquick starts with the well-designed midsole, which has both an iconic medial as well as a lateral midsole cradle. This is basically designed so that you can have lightweight and flexible cushioning that will add to the overall comfort factor of the shoe. This is compounded by the flexibility and padding that’s on the sole. This will allow for a great level of comfort while running while at the same time giving you stability for just about anything, including weightlifting as well as any kind of free running.
Style
When you run or work out, you want to have a combination of a shoe that performs well while also looking good while you’re doing it. With the inspiration of Z-rated tires on high-performing vehicles, the form factor of the Reebok Zquick is definitely there. It’s as if you have a kind of sports car handling for your feet, once again looking great while performing too. There are also all kinds of color combinations that you can take advantage of to enhance your run or workout.
Durability
The Reebok Zquick has been designed to be particularly responsive while simultaneously bringing the runner closer to the ground. To this end, there’s been a high level of traction built directly into the shoe, so you won’t have to worry about slipping out of it or running off the track. It’s also helped by CRTek high abrasion rubber that gives you an assured sense of durability without adding a lot of bulk to the shoe.
Protection
One of the first things you’ll notice about the Reebok Zquick’s revolutionary upper is that it’s a no-sew construction that has flexible and light NanoWeb PU cast to give you plenty of support while also offering protection that’s breathable. That way, you’ll get the kind of protection you’ll need while also allowing for your feet to be cool and dry throughout your run. You should be focused more on the ease of your run and less on the discomfort of it, so we have you covered every step of the way.
Responsiveness
The Reebok Zquick immediately benefits from a radically sliced geometric sole that’s specifically designed to mimic the high-performance tread of top-performing racecars. This gives you a great deal of positive ground contact as well as a great deal of responsiveness. You also have plenty of durability inherent in the shoe, so your responsiveness doesn’t come at a price. The Reebok Zquick was definitely designed to be as responsive as possible while being lightweight enough to facilitate a smooth run.
Support
One of the truly great things about the Reebok Zquick is that it has a sleek and dependable no-sew upper that adds breathability to the shoe while at the same time giving you the support you need for a productive run. It also features a supportive Nanoweb overlay that will give you the highest level of support while not adding to the overall weight of the product.
Terrain
Due to the impressive outsole that you’ll find on the Reebok Zquick, the terrain of the shoe is similarly impressive and will lead to a nice and smooth ride no matter what kind of terrain you might be running on. The ground contact is similarly superb, allowing your feet to softly strike the ground without damaging your feet in the process.
Price
The price of the Reebok Zquick is considerably cheap considering the overall value that you’re getting with the product. It’s fairly competitive with other similar shoes out on the market, with the added distinction that it has several layers of proprietary technology that set it apart from the rest. This is truly an affordable option that will give you all of the bang for your buck.
Drop
The heel to toe drop for the Reebok Zquick in both the men’s and women’s editions is 7 mm. This means that you’re going to get superior ground contact with this shoe, at a level you wouldn’t find in any similar shoe that’s presented for the price. At the end of the day, it’s all about how the shoe makes contact with the ground, ultimately impacting the ride and your run.
Stability
The stability of the Reebok Zquick starts with the upper of the shoe. The proprietary NanoWeb tech serves to enhance the overall fit of the shoe, while it also gives a layer of stability to the sides of the foot. It has these stability mechanics built in so that you don’t have to go anywhere else to get a good, lightweight running shoe that’s stable during a run.
Flexibility
The outsole of the Reebok Zquick is nearly flat and incorporates grooves that provide independent square pods all over the outsole. As a result of this outsole, you’ll have a great deal of flexibility as well as cushioning by expanding the shoe naturally in a way that mimics the expansion of the foot when it’s in the process of running. The midsole similarly benefits from flexibility in its flex grooves that maximize flexibility.
Traction
The first thing that will greatly impact the traction of your brand new pair of Reebok Zquicks is the proprietary Z-rated outsole geometry. Not only does this give you superior traction, but it also offers up control and speed as well. This way, you’re not having to worry about whether or not your shoe has the proper traction to keep you on the road. The outsole was specifically designed for this purpose, after all.
Bottom Line
When it comes to the Reebok Zquick, you really are getting the full package. It all starts with the proprietary mesh upper that offers superior breathability while maintaining support. It has a low-cut design that gives you freedom of motion as well as faster transitions when you are running. You can look forward to midsole geometry that has shock-absorbing cushioning as well as high abrasion rubber on the outsole that was designed with high-speed racecars in mind.
