Montreal-based imprint Dime works in collaboration with Reebok on a new iteration of the Workout Plus sneaker model for the season. It has a simplistic design language and comes in two colorway palettes. Starting with a classic black colorway and followed by a white version.
It has a minimal look in its respective tones as the white version is designed with premium leather throughout the upper for a luxurious feel. It sits on top of a slightly clear outsole with branding on the lateral side of the outsole referencing Reebok. Dime branding is found on the insole, heel, and tongue tag. The black colorway is made from suede and has a solid black hue throughout.
