Michael Le Reebok’s tendency to create intense, alluring designs takes further shape with the Zig Kinetica II Edge, a GORE-TEX upgrade that completely reimagines the original silhouette past all recognizability.
Only the tooling is somewhat familiar, its midsole part-borrowed from existing offerings. The all black finish is, then, extended to the Vibram outsole, whose rubber lugs provide a far more aggressive, militaristic aesthetic. Above, the straps and laces, while also functional in use, play into this look with reflective branding, contrast stitching, and a warped ripstop-like pattern. And if not for the GORE-TEX INFINIUM tab that hangs adjacent, the pair’s insulative construction would not be outwardly apparent.
For a closer look, check out the official images below. As sizes are currently available now via Reebok JP, it shouldn’t be long before we see a release via Reebok.com here in the US.
In other news, the Pegasus Trail 3 GORE-TEX opts for a more classic, mountaineering look.
