Reebok's Sock Runners Received a Sleek Chalk Colorway

— July 21, 2018 — Fashion
Reebok recently updated its popular Sock Runner silhouette, which is known for its lightweight build, supportive soles that feature a unique cut-out design, and sock-like uppers that make them highly comfortable to wear.

The sneakers are completely overtaken by a sleek chalk colorway, with different hues of off-white making up the soles and uppers. This gives the sneaker design some slight variance, while also maintaining the minimalist aesthetic. With uppers made from a breathable stretchy knit material, the sneakers form to the shape of the wearer's feet with ease.

The new Sock Runner iteration is currently available from Reebok as well as a number of participating retailers such as SSENSE, where it sells for $250 USD.
