STORY mfg. and Reebok work in collaboration on a set of sneakers for the season. The main inspiration behind the line up celebrates the beauty of the outdoors. The silhouettes that make up the pack include the Club C sneaker and the Beatnik sneaker.
Both shoes are crafted entirely with vegan materials -- the uppers are made from an undyed woven linen blend. On the lateral side of the shoes boasts a bright blue peace sign that is informed by embroidery. The Beatnik is designed with inspiration nodding to camping sandals. This includes the components of a removable back strap and a back upper strap so that it can be transformed in a mule shoe.
