When it comes to leather, calfskin or lambskin is the standard, but the Reebok Workout 25th Anniversary Collection goes for a more game-y approach.
The Reebok Workout 25th Anniversary Collection is actually a collaborative effort with Sneakernstuf. For inspiration, the two have looked towards a very common animal in the Swedish woods: the moose. The entire upper is made from quality moose leather, which is an interesting choice that produces the same slick results. Aside from the material, the sneaker is fairly low-key with a simple tonal look. The white provides a bit of subtle contrast to the shoe as well.
With Reebok releasing numerous models of the Kamikaze sneakers, it's nice to see the brand go simple and casual.
