Reebok presenta l’ottava delle quindici collaborazioni organizzate per celebrare il 25esimo anniversario della Workout con il design proposto dagli australiani di ESPIONAGE .
Dopo la raffinata versione dei ragazzi di Sneakersntuff, il team dello sneakershop di Sydney ha scelto un’originalissima ispirazione agricola con questo makup a base di suede, pelle, nubuk e patent leather caratterizzato da accenti color viola carota:
The Workout Low Plus was launched in 1987 as a sports fitness shoe, but it was built with numerous technical features that provided many benefits which set it apart from the average sports shoe. Notched back tabs allowed the feet to move more freely, heel and toe wraps provided lateral stability and durability, DI-Tex 107 injected into the midsole promoted lightweight and superior cushioning, and the patented H-Strap midfoot design allowed a custom fit. The shoe was also extremely versatile, performing adeptly in the weight room, an exercise class, on track or on a court.
The origin of the purple carrot’s roots can be traced back many thousands of years. Wild carrots only exist in purple or yellow roots and by chance, natural mutations occur to produce orange. Dutch growers took these mutated orange carrots and developed them into a sweeter and more practical domestic variety that we are familiar with today. The purple carrot is very nutritious and offers many benefits that set it apart from the average carrot.
They have been found to contain antioxidants, be antiviral, antiseptic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, whilst beta-carotenes and phytochemicals found in purple carrots have been proven to reduce the risk of cancer. Showing their own versatility, purple carrots are also being increasingly used as a natural dye product in place of synthetic chemical colourings.
So both the Workout Low Plus and the purple carrot offer many benefits to the consumer and both play an integral role in relation to two key aspects of physical fitness and well-being: exercise and diet.
Anche in questo caso la scarpa sarà disponibile in quantità limitate dal 15 Febbraio tra i negozi (e relativi webstores) partner del progetto. Per ulteriori informazioni su tutto il progetto date un occhio al minisito dedicato, realizzato dal team di Highsnobiety.
