MADWOMEN Collective has joined with Reebok for a female-focused MADWOMEN x Reebok Classic Leather release, featuring the all-new ‘Thirsty Blue’ and ‘Purple Oasis’ colorways. The new iterations were designed in partnership with the collective, which focuses on art direction, production, and talent placement. The new ‘Classic Leather’ sneakers are designed with neutral grey and white uppers that are accented with lavender and pastel blue tones throughout. The outsole features the two colors in a translucent, muted tone that contrasts the otherwise light shoe.
MADWOMEN branding can be found on the tongue and outsole in a whimsical colored font. The insoles also match the blue and purple color scheme, providing consumers with a basic pastel-toned sneaker. The collaboration will launch on June 24 on the Reebok website.
