Hits Of Colour Add A Subtle Flavouring To The Palette
We think a classic needs a little bit of refreshing every now and then. Jordan started to add non-OG colourways to their rotation, Adidas introduced a myriad of options for the Stan Smith, ranging from just changing the heel colours all the way to changing materials and designer collaborations, and now, Reebok is adding its own twist to two of its long serving models, the Classic and the Workout Plus. And we honestly think they look great and different without muddying up the time tested silhouette.
This is done with an introduction of slight hits of electric colours to the otherwise staple white and gum look. The shoe also sports the slightly newer Reebok logo and not the classic one with the half Union Jack. A white background and the gum outsole still remain.
Reebok’s reason for doing this is to guide the rising generation of future designers, artists and other young visionaries in helping them homage history without being swallowed by it. To alter your path without letting go of the roots. And I think that’s one practice that we can get behind.
The Alter The Icon series is available now at all major shopping malls nationwide.
