Reebok ES22 "Club Blue" 100032753 Release Date

August 25, 2023

Reebok enthusiasts and NFL fans alike are in for a treat as the iconic ES22 signature shoe, famously worn by Emmitt Smith, is making a triumphant return. The much-anticipated "Club Blue" colorway, originally debuted in 1997 during Smith's unforgettable season, is set to relive its glory.

The "Club Blue" ES22 gained prominence as Emmitt Smith, the all-time rushing leader, donned the turf-ready shoes throughout his remarkable season. A standout moment was during a Cowboys versus 49ers game, marked by Terrell Owens' on-field theatrics. In response to Owens' star logo celebration, Emmitt scored his own touchdown, kneeling on the star emblem and emphatically slamming the football.

While the upcoming reissue preserves the essence of the original ES22, it does come with some contemporary tweaks. Unlike the 1997 version's translucent outsoles, the 2023 iteration sports a black rubber outsole, as seen in official brand images. Set for release on September 15th, 2023, the Reebok ES22 "Club Blue" is a nostalgic journey back to an iconic era of NFL history, offered at a retail price of $180.
