Nicole McLaughlin works in collaboration with Reebok on a new Club C Geo Mid sneaker model for the season. It is designed with a gridded look on a white nylon base foundation. It is then detailed with a mesh pocket that rests right under the collars and is detailed with 'nicolenmclaughlin' text, which is inspired by the pockets seen on hiking backpacks.
McLaughlin talks about her latest collaboration, "I am so honored to be welcomed back by Reebok as a collaborator and become a part of the brand’s history. It is so rare for women to get recognition and collaborations in this space, and I feel lucky to have received that from a brand that has been a part of my life for almost a decade."
