Retro Mixed-Material Sneakers

Pyer Moss & Reebok Dropped New Colorways for the Daytona Experiment

— October 23, 2018 — Fashion
Pyer Moss and Reebok recently dropped two new tonal iterations of the signature Daytona Experiment sneaker model for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. The new options go by the names of 'Cream' and 'Multi Suede.' The footwear model has a structure that recalls retro designs and it has a sculpted sole unit and unconventionally formed panel accents.

The Multi Suede sneakers are complete with a blend of premium black suede materials as a foundation and this is further contrasted by tan nubuck, bright pink leather, gray suede details and black crocodile skin. The heel tab is finished in rubber materials in a clean white tone along with a leather tongue tab to have the bold uppers stand out. Branding details of Pyer Moss are found in the form of a bright yellow stripe.

The Cream colorway is constructed from white and cream leather materials across its uppers with a Celtics green branding detail and heel tab done in rubber. As for branding accents, there are touches of red at the tongue and toe that recall Reebok, rounded out with a transparent outsole. Both sneaker options are complete with metallic gold lacing tips.
