Reebok surprised us all by dropping a new flavor of the Reebok Nano 9 – it has a brand-new woven jacquard upper.

… and it looks great!

This is “Cold Grey 4 / Cold Grey 7 / Toxic Yellow” (Product code: FU9372).

Here’s another closeup view of the jacquard upper. This is the Cold Grey 4 / Cold Grey 7 / Toxic Yellow color option.

Some stores are calling this the Reebok Nano 9 Beast – and you can probably guess why – these are two dark and foreboding color patterns.

But, the official names are “BLACK / TRUE GREY 8 / TOXIC YELLOW” and the slightly lighter “COLD GREY 4 / COLD GREY 7 / TOXIC YELLOW”.

Here’s the other option.

Where can you get these?

Your best bet is right from the source, Reebok.com:

Reebok Nano 9 (Black/True Grey 8/Toxic Yellow) This version of the Reebok Nano 9 has a Jacquard upper - but all the same great features of the regular Nano 9.

Reebok Nano 9 (Cold Grey 4 / Cold Grey 7 / Toxic Yellow) This is a lighter colorway - but still has the Jacquard upper.

What’s a “Jacquard” upper?

That refers to a special weaving process by which the pattern is woven into the material.

Here’s an up-close look.

Will this new upper be as durable?

We don’t know for sure yet, but I can tell you this: the outsole and rubber protection wrap on the Reebok Nano 9 is tough as nails.

And they look great!

The outsole is made for great grip and traction in the gym.

The outsole is labeled meta split.

Why? It’s a two-piece outsole and Reebok describes it as “Decoupled”.

This maximizes your ability to move and cut in these shoes.
