Bronze56K and Reebok Reunite for a Third Collaborative Footwear Collection
Fresh takes on the Answer IV and Classic Leather from the unique New York-based skate company.
New York-based skate brand Bronze 56K and Reebok have teamed up for their third collaborative effort: new iterations of the Answer IV and the Classic Leather. Following a duo of G-Unit inspired Club Cs in 2019 and a sporty Club C in 2018, the partners’ latest co-created products are centered around New York Knicks-esque orange and blue accents and a special dice graphic.
Allen Iverson‘s Answer IV is reworked with a supple, chalk-colored leather upper. The more toned-down of the two shoes, it boasts embroidered blue dice detailing on both the lateral and medial sides of the shroud-covered collar’s zipper. Under this shroud sits two more signature details, namely Bronze text hits on the tongue in place of standard Reebok branding plus varsity-style orange and yellow stripes. Down below, Bronze56K’s Windows 95-inspired B graphic arrives in place of the outsole’s normal Allen Iverson portrait and gum outsoles complete the look.
Though the Classic Leather’s name may indicate otherwise, there’s hardly any leather to be found on its build. Toeboxes, quarters and throats are made of blue nylon and overlaid by chalk suede mudguards, eyestays and heel pieces. Reebok’s signature Vector logo is presented in orange leather on the quarters, with more Bronze56K graphics taking the place of standard Reebok ornamentation on the tongue tag and midfoot window. If you peer into the shoe’s innards, you’ll also see a Bronze56K hit on the insole and a dice graphic on the inside of the tongue. No-frills white midsoles and outsoles supply a finishing touch.
The Bronze 56K x Reebok Answer IV and Classic Leather are both set to hit the Reebok webstore come June 26, and may release earlier via Bronze 56K’s channels. The former is priced at $160 USD, the latter at $120 USD.
