Sportwear brand [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering) introduces its iconic Answer V Low sneaker model in a colorway that is inspired by [Oatmeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelnyc-5) for a creamy palette this season. The upper is constructed from soft leather in white materials that make up most of the shoe before it is contrasted texturally and tonally with some suede.

There is a branding accent in light gray that reads "I3" on the top of the tongue that is also punctuated with perforations. Additional details include the velcro strap made from nubuck materials at the heel counter and the top of the faces has lush [suede lace guard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-sneaker-3) that does to the forefoot in light beige to correlate to the overall tonal influence. The rear quarter has a shiny "I3" logo to round out the sneaker.
