Following its collaborative efforts with Vetements seen in the recent “No Show,” it seems that Reebok has been inspired by the Gvasalia brothers with the release of a high-cut Sock Runner Ultraknit today. The new runner may look familiar as it bares quite a resemblance to the Balenciaga Speed Trainer, also designed under the creative direction of Demna Gvasalia.

No word on whether it’ll release stateside yet.
