Sneaker retailer Shoe Palace celebrates its 25th anniversary milestone with a reworked iteration of the Classic Canvas sneakers in collaboration with Reebok and Hasbro. The theme of the new version draws inspiration directly from the popular television series G.I. Joe, resulting in a militaristic aesthetic. The new thematic shoe recalls carefree days of one's childhood as G.I. Joe entertained during the time through not only television, but through movies, comic series, and action figures.
The Classic Canvas sneakers wear a heavy camouflage print across the entire upper as a nod to G.I. Joe. Branding details from all three labels are seen throughout the tongue and the bright orange lacing system contrasts against the camo tones. It all sits on top of a black midsole and gum outsole. The nostalgic sneakers will be available beginning June 30th online and in-store at the Shoe Palace locations.
