In an attempt to fuse ecological awareness with creative design, Rolland Berry has teamed up with Reebok once again to create this latest series of sneakers. Much of the upper for each sneaker utilizes hand chosen vintage fabrics from the 60s and early 70s. These one of a kind sneakers also include the use of remnant fabrics from old Reebok projects. Despite all these one of a kind features, each sneaker will have a green strip along the midsole, green lining on the footbed, green tongue logo and a shoe bag created from fabrics seen on each respective sneaker. Available soon at Barneys New York.
