The Paris Racer sports a bold look that’s closely aligned with Reebok’s track & field line. In updating what was the Premier Competition, the upper has been completely redesigned from the previous reinforced polyurethane hexagons to an open mesh, almost gauze-y in places. This change has significantly lightened the shoe and vastly improved ventilation. The overlays are soft, synthetic suede that provides support without restricting the foot. The effective midsole/outersole chassis has been retained.
