The Reebok Classic Harman Run Sneaker exceeds my expectations

For as long as I can remember, I have always had this crazy obsession with this one thing that almost no one pays attention to: shoes.

This item of clothing can either make or break the outfit I’m trying to pair them with. No matter where I was going—whether I was going to school, meeting up with a friend, or even going to the grocery store—I always made some excuse to flaunt my sneakers. 

When I was hanging out with my friend one day, I noticed the shoes that she was wearing: the Reebok Classic Harman Run Sneaker. I was instantly intrigued by them. Prior to purchasing the shoes, my thoughts before trying them on would be that they would only be used for exercise; however, after wearing them for a while now, my expectations for them only continued to grow. 

The sneaker has a pearly white color and a tan border running along the bottom of the sneaker, making it appear as a running shoe. After wearing these shoes for a month, I’ve found that these shoes are almost nearly impossible to crease and are very true to my size and have not changed much in terms of appearance in comparison to when I first bought them. 

The comfortable design of the shoe is the reason why I no longer have sore feet after coming home from a long day of school. It is the equivalent of comfort I would gain from wearing shoes from sporting brands such as Adidas and Under Armour. Compared to shoes made by companies such as Converse, my toes would always have blisters, and my feet would start to redden, constricting the movement of my foot while I’m walking or running. 

Even though the sneaker itself is closed-toed and has laces, it can easily be slipped on and off, making it convenient to wear and less time-consuming to put on. Although the pearl color of the shoe makes it easy to stain, it is also what makes the shoes able to go with almost any outfit that you pair it with. It’s an effortless way to be comfortable while also being in style. My favorite way to pair the shoes is with any oversized quarter zip sweatshirt and black leggings. 

With this being my first time purchasing a pair of shoes from Reebok, I would consider myself a satisfied customer because the shoes I received were just how I expected them to be. I will definitely buy from this brand again in the future and recommend these sneakers to anyone who is looking for a pair of shoes that’s classy but also comfortable at the same time.
