Celebrating 25 years of its 'Ventilator' shoe line, footwear and apparel company Reebok has teamed up with Taiwanese-based sneaker shop Fruition for this illuminating rose gold sneaker release.
The shoe's classic design -- with it's mesh siding for ventilation and increased breathability -- remains the same but its upper has been given an all-over gold metallic makeover. The midsoles and inner lining material are colored a bright contrasting white while the rubber soles are made over in a semi-clear rubber with matching gold flakes.
Additional Fruition branding on these gold sneakers can be found on the shoe's rear as well as underneath the see-through soles. Anyone lucky enough to pick up a pair of this limited luxury release will be sure to turn heads anywhere they go.
