Here is a look at the triple collaboration between new label Auduet, sneaker boutique Mita Sneakers and Reebok. Together they have created two colorways (gold and silver) of the Pump Omni Lite. Even thought these Pump Omni Lites are one tone, they still do stand out from the crowd with its shiny metalic snakeskin. The sneakers will be limited to 200 pairs for each colorway and will release in late December. Available now at Armth.
