Packer Gives the X-90 Recon a New Makeover for the Infinity Edition

The latest piece is finished in colors of gray and blue predominantly and it adorned the uppers. It is crafted from a mixed material of mesh and suede along with reflective details throughout the entire model, specifically the signature 'N' logo.

To add a more premium touch, the tongue is constructed from a pebbled leather material. The latest X-90 Recon collaborative sneakers are set to launch on October 20th online and in retail locations at Packer Shoes.
