Boldly Patterned Sneaker Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Kenzo Minamo and Reebok Create a New Zig Kinetica R68 Sneaker

— January 22, 2020 — Fashion
Reebok works in collaboration with artist and designer Kenzo Minami to design a pair of the Zig Kinetica R58 sneakers together. The footwear model features bright and bold patterning that is true to Minami's style alongside a plethora of prints and visual graphics as well.

The 'R58' name of the latest sneaker references the year 1958, which is the year that Jor and Jeff Foster founded the sportswear brand. The uppers feature a wavy texture and it sits on top of a cut-out midsole foundation. The colorway is predominantly black and white with some contrasting accents in green. The uppers feature graphic embellishments and the same visual also travels down to the midsole that is showcased through a clear rubber construction.
