After a lengthy hiatus from the classroom, you might be covertly excited about sending your kids back to school again. It’s definitely something worth celebrating, and getting some new kicks or apparel for the family is a long-standing tradition in academia.
To help you get the right looks to hit the books, Reebok is hosting a Back to School Sale from 7/30 to 8/15 and offering a sitewide discount of 30% off. Free shipping is available for orders of $49 or more, and products are covered by a 30-day return policy.
But wait, there’s a twist! You can up the discount by an additional 5% and lower the free-shipping threshold by becoming a member of the Reebok UNLOCKED loyalty program. It costs nothing to join and allows you to earn points to boost your reward level for even more perks. The benefits include free shipping on orders of $25 or more, future discounts, birthday gifts, member-only products, and more.
Reebok has curated a massive list of Back to School products for you to choose from. While the focus may be to decorate your children for the start of semester, there’s nothing wrong with rewarding yourself in the process.

The Victoria Beckham Collection and Club C 85 Vintage Shoes are some other soleful options.
