They can be worn for long periods of time because they feature fun animal prints.

I have been a city person my whole life. However, something changed for me when I went on my first safari in 2013. Seeing the animals up close made me feel an instant connection with the natural world — and it’s a feeling I’ve chased since then, even in my clothing choices.

It’s no wonder I embrace a bold leopard-on-leopard look from time to time, and to my delight I’ve just discovered a pair of comfortable animal-printed shoes that screams safari and can complete any look from head to toe: Reebok’s National Geographic Nano X2 Grow Training Shoes. They’ve become a secret weapon in my wardrobe as a comfortable everyday shoe that’s ideal for commuting and trips — and they’re on sale for $105 right now.

Slipping these shoes on, I’m instantly transported back to my villa at Morokuru Family, the fabulous place I stayed while on safari in South Africa’s Madikwe game reserve. These shoes are unique and perfect for trips to the bush because of their fun mix of cheetah and jaguar prints. I have them in the “Soft Camel / Light Sand / Gravel” combo, but they also come in another snazzy black animal print (“Core Black / Stone / Khaki”) as well.

If you’re looking for an ideal and on-theme shoe to pack for your next safari trip — and who doesn’t appreciate an on-theme outfit? — this stylish pair will blend you into your safari surroundings. These pants look especially great when worn with an all black outfit. I recommend a black t shirt and white pants.

Since I’m on the go so much, I like that these Reebok shoes have both function for my outfits and for the gym. These shoes have the following features: National Geographic Nano X2 Grow shoes double as a training shoe, so I’m able to pack one less pair into my always crowded suitcase.

Reebok’s collaboration with National Geographic But it’s about more than its cute animal prints. This pair was approved by Reebok, as they are at least 50% made from plant-based materials that have a lower impact on the environment than other materials. In fact, Reebok’s website states the upper part of the shoe is made of cotton and eucalyptus, which definitely contributes to how soft and flexible they are, something you notice when you glide your feet into them. Reebok says that the cushioning in the midsole is made of sugarcane and the outsoles are made with natural rubber. On the tongue of the shoes, there’s a print of a tiger with National Geographic’s iconic yellow square so you can show off your wild side.

Available in a range of men’s and women’s sizes, this shoe has super smooth grip and cushioning thanks to Reebok’s proprietary Floatride Energy Foam. When you order, here’s a pro tip: I find that Reebok’s shoes fit a little smaller than other brands, so if you’re in between sizes like I am, I would recommend sizing up. I’ve noticed that when I make quick foot movements like a quick turn up the subway steps or a lateral squat, these shoes perform well when compared to other cross trainers.

The best thing about these shoes is their versatility. They are very comfortable and can be worn for hours. This makes them ideal for when you’re sitting in a Jeep on safari or going on a “safari walk” around the bush as I did in South Africa. But they’re also perfect for long walks around a city, commuting, or getting in a quick workout at the hotel gym.

A reviewer on Reebok.com agrees, stating, “The material is sturdy and the shoes are great for lifting and other training movements.” An added bonus? I can attest that you’ll receive lots of compliments on the shoes, too.
