Limited-edition Reeboks use repurposed airbags

Sportswear brand Reebok has teamed up with South Korean label Kanghyuk for a limited-edition run made with repurposed airbags.

The collection will be offered in a limited run of fifty pairs, available exclusively at Dover Street Market in London. 

This capsule is a continuation of the “Advanced Concepts” handmade project, whose design was originally conceived for co-founder Sanglak Shon’s graduate collection. 

The Reebok x Kanghyuk Zig Kinetica features an upper made from leftover material from Kanghyuk’s ready-to-wear collection.
