Aldi is offering a pair of running shoes for £12.99 that closely resemble high-end alternatives in appearance, if not price. The Autumn Running Shoes are available in-store only and come in a range of colours and sizes.
Design and Availability
The shoes feature a pure white aesthetic with a light blue trim and a black sole, described as a traditional look with a modern twist. A grey version is also available, with a more neutral design accented by small sections of bright green.
Aldi described the product: "Start your running era now with some fresh shoes. Insole: EVA covered with polyester and gel pad in heel area, choose from White in sizes 4-8 or Grey in sizes 7-12."
Comparison with Reebok
Reebok is selling an almost identical pair at nearly ten times the price. The Nano X5 Edge Training Shoes are priced at £132, with a variety of styles and sizes available.
According to the product description, "The Reebok Nano X5 Edge Unisex Training Shoes in White and Warped Blue are the most considered two-tone colourway in the range. The White FlexWeave upper is offset by Warped Blue structural detailing for a palette that is precise rather than aggressive, delivering the same performance credentials as the bolder Nano X5 Edge colourways with a cleaner, more restrained finish."
The description adds: "The upgraded 3D FlexWeave provides superior breathability and durability across every training discipline. The DualResponse CMEVA midsole delivers zoned performance, with a stable, grounded heel for heavy compound movements and a responsive, cushioned forefoot for explosive conditioning work."
Purchase Options
Shoppers interested in the Aldi shoes are advised to check stock availability at their local store using the online store finder. Unlike the Aldi option, the Reebok trainers can be delivered directly to the customer's door, with further details available on the Reebok website.
