Celebrating 25 years of partnership, Footpatrol and Reebok collaborate to reveal the Footpatrol x Reebok Hotstepper.
Playing on the concept of nostalgia, this cool kick features a very 90s sneaker design and color palette. The shoe pays homage to retro workout gear with a fitness-inspired silhouette. The upper of the sneaker features white terry towel while synthetic suede overlays panel the toe. The Reebok name is seen branded on the tongue, side panels and bottom of the shoe. Unlike the conventional tongue label, the Hotstepper features a flippable woven label. While the right foot's label features the dual-brand lock up logo on each side, the left foot's logo exhibits the Reebok logo on the front and material specifications on the back.
The Footpatrol x Reebok Hotstepper is set to release on the 23rd of this month.
