The Reebok SpeedShifter is here, and it marks the brand’s first performance running shoe built around a full length carbon plate. It’s Reebok’s entry into the super shoe category that has reshaped competitive running over the past decade.
The modern super shoe era started with Nike, which tested a carbon plated racing prototype at the 2016 Olympics before releasing the Vaporfly 4% in 2017. That shoe changed competitive running almost overnight, pushing adidas, ASICS, Saucony and other brands to build their own carbon plated racers to keep pace. Reebok is arriving late to that race, but its $220 price undercuts the category’s headline names, including Nike’s $270 Alphafly 3, while adidas and ASICS have pushed some models as high as $500. JustFreshKicks will track pricing and availability for the Reebok lineup, and you can browse the sneaker release dates hub for the SpeedShifter’s arrival alongside other upcoming launches.
The Reebok SpeedShifter Design
The shoe’s centerpiece is its AccelerPlate, a full length carbon plate sandwiched between two layers of HYPERFLOAT, a new ATPU foam compound engineered for energy return, cushioning and stability. A breathable, minimalist upper keeps overall weight down, while a three piece, high abrasion rubber outsole handles traction and durability. All told, the SpeedShifter weighs 7.4 ounces and carries an 8mm heel to toe drop.
What Makes The Reebok SpeedShifter A Super Shoe
Its AccelerPlate pairs a full length carbon plate with two layers of HYPERFLOAT foam, the same basic formula (stiff plate plus high rebound foam) that defines the super shoe category Nike started with the Vaporfly.
