Weatherproof Gore-Tex Shoes

Reebok's Fall Sneakers Prepare for Wind & Rain for Their 25th Birthday

— October 2, 2015 — Lifestyle
These fall sneakers invite shoe enthusiasts to brave the colder months' weather with these Gore-Tex treated Reebok Ventilators. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ventilator style, many various takes have been imagined and designed. However, the wind and waterproof Gore-Tex used in this version protects against harsh weather conditions while simultaneously adding an interesting texture to the shoes.

The sporty fall sneakers also have hiking laces with a gripped rounded shape to pull as snug as possible. The shoes' pumpkin-color is an autumn play on classic brown leather and they sit on top of an off-white sole. These shoes boast a popular silhouette, the likes of which were also used for Kendrick Lamar's own version released earlier this year.
