Packer works in collaboration with Reebok on a new tonal iteration of the Answer IV sneaker model for the season. It is designed in a white and silver palette in time for the warmer season upon us. The light palette has silver mesh serving as the underlying base foundation of the sneaker, following through to the tongue.
Crisp white leather overlays on top of the breathable base and can be seen detailing the mid-foot section, the toe boxes, and the heel. As a brighter pop of tonal contrast, there are red details that make an appearance by the zipper covers and the lower heel badge sections - this also holds the custom Reebok vector branding.
