ENGINEERED GARMENTS works in collaboration with sportswear imprint Reebok on a new LX2200 sneaker model for the season. The shoes are decorated with earthy tones throughout the silhouette that is constructed from a range of playful materials. Speaking about the design, the founder of ENGINEERED GARMENTS, Daiki Suzuki states that "To design this shoe, we utilized basic earth colors and applied our traditional brand aesthetic through material mixtures and an asymmetrical color scheme."
The three colorways that make up the collection include black, beige, and white, creating a neutral tonal option across the board. Every single option represents the colors and the outdoor-themed ethos that is rooted in the brand of ENGINEERED GARMENTS. It is made from a blend of smooth leather, suede, and hemp materials.
