Collection curator and Reebok Creative Director Swizz Beatz has ensured that the Jean-Michel Basquiat tribu-laboration keeps going strong, and for the latest drop, we see a model that’s been absent in its original form since some of last year’s Basquiat releases. The Basquiat x Reebok Ventilator resurrects this classic runner in a couple of high contrast colorways that, the Neo-expressionist prodigy’s markings aside, remind us of this silo’s strong mid-’00s run that included what could be seen as one of the earliest Miami-inspired pastel looks from a trend that crested with the LeBron 8 ‘South Beach’. It’s not art deco at work here, but something just as distinctive, and both colorways are available now at RBK retailers like Millennium Shoes.
