XIMONLEE and Reebok have come together to unveil the 'DMX Trail Hydrex' in a sleek 'Primal Green' colorway.
Taking cues from scuba gear, the two brands design a sock sneaker that features neoprene uppers that are accented with gray rubber, which extends down to the midsoles for a seamless look. Apart from the gray rubber accents, the uppers are complemented with bold stitching that helps to diversify the green uppers. With no laces, the flexible material is designed to stretch out and then form to the wearer's shape. The soles include accents of navy and pops of yellow to give the colorway some variance, while still maintaining the neutral look.
The DMX Trail Hydrex in Primal Green is available for purchase on the Sivasdescalzo web store.
