Reebok and SOUTH2 WEST8 already released the Zig Kinetica || Edge earlier this year and in December, the brands are back with a brand new futuristic sports sneaker collaboration—this time, the pair presents a new and improved version of Reebok's Zig Kinetica II Edge 2.5.
The model has a chunky silhouette with subtle accents, suited to individuals who favor minimalism. For the aesthetic, Reebok and SOUTH2 WEST8 derived inspiration from fly-fishing nets and the military. This comes as no surprise as fly-fishing and utilitarian styles have been important to SOUTH2 WEST8 branding. Needless to say, the shoe is hyper-technical, ensuring durability and comfort. Both brands designed the futuristic sports sneaker to balance rugged outdoor climates with the environment of the urban metropolis.
