The “RompHim,” a Kickstarter project that’s designing rompers specifically for men, has taken the internet by storm this week.

Many a tweet and hot take have debated the necessity of a male romper, whether men should even wear them (newsflash: you can wear whatever you want), and whether or not the article of clothing needs to be renamed.

It appears the RompHim will soon have a little competition, as Reebok recently announced that it’s introducing the “ReeRomp” in just a few days.

According to the product description, this is an $89 athletic version of the RompHim. It was “built for bros” and “will keep you cool in more ways than one.” Sounds ... great?
