Appropriately looking back to tennis history for inspiration on their collaboration for the vintage Reebok Phase 1 Pro tennis sneaker, Japan’s mita Sneakers presents a “wooden” version of the shoe. The faux wood look is a reference to tennis racquets of the past when they were still made out of wood instead of the aluminum or synthetic composites common today. The shoe features two shades of woodgrain graphic suede, contrasted with a solid light tan toe and heel tab. The 1984 tennis sneaker is completed with a gum rubber outsole and mita’s signature chain-link fence found on the insole. The mita Sneakers x Reebok Phase 1 Pro is available now at Reebok Certified Network retailers worldwide for $120.
