Opening Ceremony works in collaboration with sportswear label Reebok to introduce a new iteration of the signature 'Classic Leather' sneaker. The new iteration boasts the same foundational structure, with changes in the material and pattern design throughout the uppers. The re-imagined version is complete in a satin jacquard fabric material in the colorway options of either black or red. This is adorned with vibrant floral prints that highlight contrasting hues of yellow, pink, green, purple, and blue.
