The sneaker comes in a monochromatic white colorway, a triple black, and a graphic black, white, and red colorway. The 'Zig CR' boasts an EVA sole, TPU inserts, a neoprene heel cap, and a highly flexible TPU upper with a rubberized toe guard. Due to its innovative shape and design, the footwear offering is a bold and refreshing take on the traditional sneaker and sandal form. The Maison Margiela x Reebok 'Zig CR' launches on August 26 via select Maison Margiela stores and on the brand's website. The 'Zig CR' retails for approximately $990 USD.
