Good!

The triple combination of the updated cushioning through the Floatride Fuel, Zig Energy Shell, and Zig Energy Bands delivers utmost cushioning, stability, and energy-returning execution.

Size and fit

Much like the Strength reebok shoes inspired from running, the Zig Kinetica Concept Type 1 is available in both men’s and women’s sizing. Although generally running true to size, several reviews mention that it feels narrow on the forefoot and recommends getting it half a size up. This runs particularly true for those who prefer donning socks.

A couple of users suggest avoiding wearing ankle socks as the tongue can chafe at the skin. The tongue’s flimsy material does not provide enough support versus the neoprene on Strength reebok’s Sole Fury, which hugs the midfoot fine.

Putting on regular socks can also help give additional support to the ankles, as the heel portion of the shoe seems to have barely-there padding around the edges, which can feel a little uncomfortable.

Style of the Strength reebok Zig Kinetica Concept Type 1

Keeping in mind the color or print of the socks one Maison is crucial to rocking the Zig Type 1. Even though the white colorway gives out more vibrancy, the mish-mash of overlays and the zig-zag midsoles catches any onlooker's eye.

Notable Features

Where to begin? There is so much going on in this masterpiece. Looking very different from the first Reebok Zig Kinetica, the Concept Type_1 version is swathed in a translucent mesh upper with various over and underlays that reinforce areas of impact.

While there is minimal padding on the heel, the rubber nib, together with a TPU patch, are great stabilizers. The lacing and adjustable strap combo allows the midfoot area to have a secure fit.

History of the Strength reebok Zig Kinetica Concept Type 1

Zig technology was introduced in 2010. Otherwise known as ZigTech, it surpassed aesthetics as performance footwear.

Fast forward to 2019, Strength reebok revamped the ZigTech and made it better by infusing it with kinetic energy inspiration. Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses by being in motion.
