RBX Men’s Athletic Runner Sneaker – Charcoal Grey / Black

The RBX Men’s Athletic Runner Sneaker in Charcoal Grey / Black / Ice Blue is RBX’s boldest silhouette — a chunky athletic runner with a premium three-material upper, glossy black midsole accent, and a striking ice blue outsole that pops against the all-dark upper. Built under the Live Life Active banner, this is a shoe for the person who wants serious street presence at a seriously honest price. Originally $45.99, now just $28.99 — 37% off.

The upper builds across three distinct zones. A heathered charcoal grey engineered mesh — with a subtle linen-like cross-weave texture — covers the full vamp and midfoot, giving the shoe a refined, elevated look compared to standard plain mesh. Black open-weave mesh at the heel collar and toe box adds breathability and tonal depth. Black smooth synthetic overlays at the toe cap and heel counter structure the most critical zones, and a glossy black patent-look panel wraps the lateral midsole/upper junction — a premium detail that reads as more expensive than the price point. The RBX peak logo on the lateral vamp is printed in ice blue-grey to match the outsole, and “LIVE LIFE ACTIVE” is debossed into the black midsole wall. A bold woven “RBX” strap at the heel collar and “RBX LIVE LIFE ACTIVE” lace garage on the tongue complete the branding.

The black EVA midsole is chunky and substantial — one of the taller stack heights in this price range. Below it, the ice blue/light grey outsole is the unexpected hero detail: the light sole against the dark upper creates a dramatic color contrast that makes the shoe read far above its price. The outsole uses a multi-zone traction layout: cross/grid blocks at the heel, oval pod clusters at the forefoot, and a serrated perimeter edge — with “RBX” debossed at the heel.

Brand new condition, size 13 US Men’s.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the RBX Athletic Runner run true to size?

Yes, this model runs true to size. The multi-material upper and structured overlays hold their shape well, making your standard US men’s size the right choice for most wearers.

Is this pair brand new?

Yes — brand-new, never-worn, in original retail condition at clearance pricing.

What size is available?

One pair: size 13 US Men’s. Once sold, this will not be restocked at this clearance price.

What occasions is the RBX Athletic Runner best suited for?

The chunky black platform silhouette with ice blue outsole is designed for casual streetwear, athleisure, and everyday active wear. It works well with joggers, dark denim, and casual outerwear. The bold colorway makes it a statement piece rather than a neutral everyday option.

What is the heathered mesh upper made of?

The vamp and midfoot use an engineered mesh with a cross-weave texture that creates a heathered, linen-like appearance. It is a synthetic athletic mesh that provides breathability and a premium visual texture compared to standard open-knit mesh constructions.

Is the ice blue outsole durable?

Yes — the outsole rubber is standard athletic compound. The ice blue color is a pigmented rubber that maintains its color through normal everyday wear. Light scuffs on smooth surfaces will be less visible than on white rubber, given the light grey undertone.

How does this RBX model compare to the Classic Low Top and Apex models?

The Athletic Runner is the most fashion-forward of the three RBX models. Where the Classic Low Top is a retro runner and the Apex is a training shoe, the Athletic Runner is a chunky platform lifestyle sneaker — bolder silhouette, taller sole stack, more visual impact. It prioritizes street presence over classic or athletic aesthetics.

What is the “LIVE LIFE ACTIVE” branding on this shoe?

LIVE LIFE ACTIVE is RBX’s brand motto — debossed into the midsole wall, printed on the lace garage, and woven into the heel strap. It reflects the brand’s positioning as an accessible active lifestyle brand for everyday athletic and casual wear.

Is free shipping included?
