[Streetwear brand Palace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-x-palace) works in collaboration with [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering1) on two iterations of the new Jk Workout Mid sneaker model. The design arrives in the option of white with gray details or all-black -- the model is reminiscent of the Reebok [Classic Leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering).

This is translated across the sneaker's midfoot overlays, the clean midsole, the shape of the toebox, and the outsole. The monochromatic series still delivers intricate details with close attention with a wave pattern at the signature tri-Ferg logo. The tongue has embellished detail that reads "Trad Roots I Won Trod" as a humorous nod to Palace. There is also a smaller detail that reads "JK Special Edition" right underneath the aforementioned phrase.
