The high-fashion house and the vector brand reconnect this week to produce a capsule that focuses on the Reebok TZ Pump Deadstock. The kicks — which were made famous by former NBA legend Dominique Wilkins — have been put through a process called hydrolysis where a water-induced chemical breaks down sneaker’s construction. As a result, the kicks appear dirty and as if they’ve been put through the ringer…and that’s the point.
