Reebok is launching a new footwear collection called the ‘Food & Bev’ capsule, which highlights archival styles such as the ‘Classic Leather,’ ‘Pump Omni Zone II,’ and the ‘BB 4000 II.’ Each shoe has a variety of passionate hues inspired by traditional Valentine's Day presents, like cherries, chocolate, and red wine.
In addition to the typical branding, each shoe has heart patterns and textual elements on the tongue that read "Valentine's Day 2023." In rich shades of red and cream, the Classic Leather
‘Cherries’ colorway is made of a blend of leather and suede. The traditional silhouette also has a recognizable rubber outsole.
The ‘Chocolate’ colorway of the Pump Omni Zone II has a hightop style with a primarily brown color palette. Last but not least, the BB 4000 II ‘Red Wine’ is made of suede and has an upper that combines the colors ‘Mystic Maroon,’ ‘Eggplant,’ and ‘Lux Maroon.’
