Bomber Jacket-Inspired Footwear

The Reebok Beatnik Draws Inspiration From M-65 Jacket Linings

— August 27, 2021 — Fashion
Reebok continues to impress as it launches another iteration of the Beatnik sandal design. It is inspired by the lining found within M-65 jackets, delivering two new colorway options. The first of the two blends to Hunter Green, Core Black, and Pure Gray 8 and the second one is a lighter option.

It fuses the colors Chalk with Paperwhite and Alabaster. Both iterations have quilted materials at the upper for a warm and cozy feel for the colder seasons that are coming around just around the corner. It has a small blaze orange tag with black straps for wearers to adjust the fit to their liking. Both colorways are set to launch officially on September 1st.
