Reebok has upgraded its iconic CL Nylon with the release of 'Arctic Fox.' The updated sneaker is part of Reebok's collaboration with Maison Kitsune, a French retailer that adds luxe French material to the throwback shoe.
The past has seen numerous add-ons and color changes, yet the CL Nyon stands the test of time. The classic shoe and its recognizable frame makes for an easily adaptable and versatile sneaker. The Arctic Fox does not differ too much from the Nylon's construction, but has incorporated a few stylish details.
First off, the shape of the shoe is slightly altered to fit with the baseball theme that the two brands have released. Secondly, the Arctic Fox incorporates a different material with tan-colored suede.The tongue of the shoe is also tastefully done in leather, adding a subtle yet luxurious touch.
