The Reebok San Valentin Shoes Mimic a Delectable Strawberry Treat

— January 23, 2011 — Fashion
Just in time for Valentine's Day are these Reebok San Valentin shoes, which really remind me of the romantic occasion. These sneakers mimic delicious chocolate-dipped strawberries.

The high-top kicks really focus on the fruity details, as they feature an all-over bright red color with beige seedlike speckles across the shoe. The tip is covered in a chocolate fudge color; even the interior's top is green to represent the stem. Simply looking at these Reebok San Valentin shoes makes my mouth water.
