Reebok collaborated with Roland Berry to design some marvelous shoe innovations. For this pack, they have picked the CL SW Canvas Mid as the base. Roland Berry transformed the simple silhouette of the shoe. He used a mix of graphics, materials and colors to introduce the complicated design to change the simplicity of the shoe. The graphics are classical images that represent their city.
The shoe has Mexico City designs is the one with its national flag colors of red and green. Mexico is famous for its religious places of worship like the mountain where the Lady of Guadalupe appeared. Thus, the image has been featured on the shoe.
The shoe that is assigned to represent Los Angeles uses a blue colorway. The manmade landscape with telephone wires and power lines running along trees is the typical sight in LA. Blue was chosen because LA is close to the ocean.
The Japanese sneaker features the Yen. The New York shoe highlights the dark underground subways.
London City is represented in the shoe that has ornamental lattice metal works. The heel has a nice picture of London Bridge, which is one of the most famous icons of London.
Russia is represented with its traditional symbol at the heel. The sickle and hammer will always remains with Russia. There is a row of missile heads along the midsole. It reminds us that Russia is a formidable power.
The shoes featuring London and Mexico City will be released in September, Moscow by October, and New York and Los Angeles in November.
