'Billionaire Boys Club' and 'Reebok' Unveil the 'BBC Zig Kinetica II'
After collaborating on ‘Answer V,’ Billionaire Boys Club’s ICECREAM and Reebok continue their sneaker-driven partnership. The BBC x Reebok Zig Kinetica II ‘Digi-Camo’ comes dressed in a dusty olive and muted camo pattern, on theme with the collections ‘military-centric’ aesthetic.
“The 'BBC Zig Kinetica II' was inspired by the quality and functionality of tactical gear,” said BBC. “We wanted to bring some of those functional elements to this shoe through details such as speed lace hooks, as well as nylon pull tabs at the heel and tongue for ease of accessibility. The Digi-Camo comes from our archives, and we thought it would be the perfect pattern for this utilitarian silhouette.”
The shoe has unique design aspects like the white stitching, which decorates the exterior of the durable mesh uppers. The olive tones are seen on the perforated leather panels towards the rear, and the heel tabs conceal script that says “wealth is of the heart and mind, not the pocket.”
