PLEASURES x Reebok Beatnik
Reebok comes through with another extremely sought-after collaboration with the influential LA-based brand PLEASURES.
Certainly not for the faint of heart or the arachnophobic, the streetwear imprint’s interpretation turns tangible one of co-founder Alex James’ ideas: “When the web is destroyed, a new one is created. The cycle is never-ending.” Suede constructions run replete with black dye, matted to better suit PLEASURES’ usual aesthetic. Their stamp - with jagged text and all - sits at the helm along the silhouette’s strap, embroidered in a fashion similar to the spider motif placed atop the heel and the much fuller web that dresses the forefoot in white thread.
“The Beatnik is comfort interacting with style on a new level,” said Alex James, co-founder of PLEASURES. “The removable strap makes it super easy to wear. In a world where we are spending more time indoors, this is an ideal shoe.”
