About Reebok DMX

Air that moves with your stride

Reebok DMX is not a single model but a sole technology, and the shoes built around it. DMX stands for a system of connected air chambers in the sole: as you walk, the air pumps from the heel to the forefoot and back, so the cushioning moves with your step. Where in many shoes the air sits in one place, with DMX it moves through the sole. That’s the idea the whole line revolves around.

From chunky runner to walking shoe

Many silhouettes fall under the DMX name. There are the explicitly retro models, such as the DMX 1200 and the DMX Series, chunky running shoes from the late 1990s with the air chambers visible in the sole. And there are more modern comfort and walking shoes that use the same technology. What ties them together is not the shape but the DMX sole underneath.

Y2K in the sole

The classic DMX models breathe the aesthetic of their time: bulky soles, layered panels of leather and mesh, and the transparent windows through which you can see the air chambers. That look, long in the background, fits exactly with the renewed interest in chunky Y2K runners, as with related Reebok retros like the Aztrek. It’s far removed from the clean court line of the Classic Leather.

Technology first

Where many retro sneakers rely purely on their look, DMX sells itself on the feel: the promise of cushioning that moves with you. That makes the line interesting for those who value comfort as much as looks. The different models package that same technology in different forms, from sporty-retro to understated everyday.

What differs per model

The DMX sole technology is the constant; the rest differs by model. A DMX 1200 looks very different from a modern DMX walking shoe, even though they share the moving air under the foot. On this page the DMX models are grouped together so you can compare them side by side.
