This time, the piece has a more casual look that’s a lot different from what was previously released. The Emporio Armani x Reebok EA7 2011 Court Mid boasts a mid-top style with contrasting suede and mesh material that gives it a silhouetted look. The model featured shows off a black upper with a wonderful contrasting yellow along the soles and eyelets that adds a level of vibrancy. Other colorways will be available for this sneaker as well.
