Reebok is no stranger to the Nepenthes umbrella, having worked with Needles on a pair of Beatniks and the New York storefront on not one but two colorways of the Workout Plus. The footwear brand has yet to borrow the expertise of Engineered Garments, however, though that’s about to change come next week, as founder and designer Daiki Suzuki is releasing three different iterations of the newly-introduced LX2200.

“To design this shoe, we utilized basic earth colors and applied our traditional brand aesthetic through material mixtures and an asymmetrical color scheme,” commented Daiki Suzuki.

Much like the label’s previous footwear offerings — such as their many Vans collaborations — the Engineered Garments x Reebok LX2200, too, comes in threes. Prepared in Black, Beige, and White, the collaboration strikes a balance between the original silhouette and the asymmetric design language signature to Daiki Suzuki’s work. While the colorways themselves may seem ordinary at a glance, their constructions are characteristic of EG, as the left and right foot are subtly distinct in their paneling.

For a closer look at all three Engineered Garments x Reebok LX2200s, see below. Retailing for $140 USD, the collection will be available on December 8th exclusively through Nepenthes before seeing a global release on December 10th.
