UK-based streetwear label Packer has teamed up with [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering) to launch a new two-tone colorway of its eye-catching [DMX Trail Shadow sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-xt4-og). The exclusive release arrives as a follow-up to the brand's previous collab with Answer IV, which included a sequel to the Reebok Answer IV 'Ultramarine.'

For this limited-edition offering, the DMX Trail Runner arrives in a 'Pure Grey' colorway, which serves to nicely complement the shoe's 'Green Slate' mudguards and outsoles. In addition, the sneaker boasts new technical detailing; it utilizes DMX shear technology to create a softer, more comfortable foot landing, while the revamped rubber outsole offers greater stability and grip.

For those interested, the new 'Pure Grey' DMX Trail Shadow is currently available to purchase on Reebok's website as well as at select retailers.
