The Reebok LTD Premier Arena takes the familiar Premier Road Ultra and changes quite a bit of its upper. The thick sole stays, but the panels are cut differently, especially around the toe and sides. Reebok has also changed how the laces sit, adding larger overlays that cover much of the tongue.
Evan Belforti, Reebok’s Principal Footwear Designer of Special Projects, shared an early look at the sneaker on social media. The “Purple Suede” colorway mixes deep purple overlays with olive green panels, yellow mesh, and bright blue suede around the heel. Reebok also changed the toe construction, removing part of the medial overlay. The extended panels around the laces nearly cover the tongue, leaving the pull closure system and long laces exposed. Underneath, the shoe retains the chunky DMX Ride tooling associated with the Premier Road Ultra.
This particular colorway was previously shown during a Reebok LTD seasonal preview, alongside a “Brushed Metal” version that has yet to be confirmed for release. Belforti has indicated that the Reebok LTD Premier Arena “Purple Suede” is scheduled for Fall/Winter 2027. An exact release date and retail price have not been announced.
