Sportswear label Reebok recently unveiled a new tonal iteration of its signature 3D OP. Pro sneaker model in 'Cool Gray.' The sneaker's highlighting element is its base construction finished as a green sock-like visual and crafted from paneling accents of nubuck materials. This design effect shows off a variety of different gray hues that are contrasted by some white details done in leather.
Branding details are found on the silhouette as well, finished in a muted design as the label's retro logo adorns the back of the heel tab. To complete the footwear model, the sole unit is split into three different parts and are all done in a black 3D ULTRALITE finish along with a full-length torsion plate of carbon fiber. The Cool Gray 3D OP. Pro sneakers are now available for purchase at select retail locations including chmielna20.
