Reebok has created a path-breaking digital wearable technology for its “Reebok Impact” initiative. This unique program empowers users to convert their pictures to create extraordinary digital styles of sneakers. Reebok collaborated with Futureverse to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for customizing footwear according to individual preferences, utilizing Instagram images as the source material. Users can make up to four pairs of sneakers at no charge and easily use them on the most popular platforms, like Fortnite and Roblox.
The step by Reebok to dive into the digital fashion business not only expands its product portfolio but also intersects it with the realms of style and technology. The launch of Reebok Impact is a sign that the brand is ready to adapt to the increasing demand for digital fashion, which has attracted the attention of the major players in the clothing sector. The club has likewise taken this step, as Adidas, the parent company of Reebok, has recently joined this circle through a partnership with apps such as STEPN to offer NFT sneakers to clients.

Although Reebok is presently placing significant emphasis on its digital solutions, the organization is alluding to the potentiality of offering consumers a discount in exchange for engaging with its physical product portfolio in the future. In the end, this strategy may facilitate the customer’s transition from virtual to physical sales environments, resulting in a more engaging experience.
Reebok is in a fight against all the well-known brands in the market, such as Nike. It is doing so by venturing into the world of digital wearables, like Nike’s NFT platform, .SWOOSH, which now permits users to participate in a competition with their digital shoe designs for physical manifestation. Reebok’s decision to do so helps the brand keep up with competitors and capture the need of modern people to incorporate technology in clothing and accessories.

There is an ongoing fusion of technology and the physical environment, and just like Reebok is ahead in designing digital wearables, the brand also addresses the evolving needs of tech-savvy consumers and, hence, the future-generation fashion market. This strategic switch would obviously provide an opportunity for the brand to target its users and increase its presence in a market where digital presence is considered a critical requirement.
