Chalobah Signs With Reebok & Offers First Look at Launch Colourway for Sidewinder Boot

Reebok continues to rebuild its presence in elite football with the signing of Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah. The announcement follows the recent addition of Serbia and Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović to the brand’s growing roster. Chalobah’s debut in the Champions League against PSG also offered the first look at a new colourway for the Sidewinder boot, Reebok’s first football model since its return to the pitch.

Reebok Strengthens Football Lineup with Chalobah Signing

The capture of Chalobah signals Reebok’s ambition to re‑establish itself as a serious player in performance football. While the brand is not yet at the peak it enjoyed with Ryan Giggs and Thierry Henry in the late ’90s and early 2000s, the signing represents a clear statement of intent. This strategic manoeuvring mirrors how Skechers entered the game in 2023, building on‑pitch visibility through emerging talent rather than established stars. Chalobah and Vlahović may not yet have the profile of Harry Kane, but they give Reebok a foothold in top‑flight competition.

“Reebok is a brand with a deep history in sport, and being part of its return to football is exciting,” said Chalobah. “The vision for the next chapter of Reebok Football is ambitious, and I’m proud to represent the brand on the pitch at this moment.”

First Look at Reebok Sidewinder Boot Launch Colourway

Chalobah’s Champions League appearance provided the first public glimpse of the black‑based colourway of the Sidewinder, accented with volt detailing. This contrasts with the white‑and‑black colourway that Vlahović had previously shown. The boot is understood to be one of the launch options for Reebok’s performance football comeback.

Reebok Sidewinder Design and Features

Early images reveal an aggressive aesthetic dominated by a synthetic upper covered with embossed and debossed ridges. This textured surface is likely designed to create a grippy, abrasive feel that enhances touch, swerve and control on the ball, while keeping the overall profile lightweight – a common approach among modern speed boots. The Sidewinder also appears to include a one‑piece stretch‑knit tongue and collar integrated into the lacing system, aligning it with competitors such as the adidas F50, Nike Mercurial, PUMA Ultra, Mizuno Alpha and New Balance Furon.
