The Reebok Beatnik was made for Summer — that much is obvious. And with the season’s long-awaited arrival, the brand is bringing out the archival silhouette in full force. Here, the outdoors acts as its newest inspiration, the mule-like uppers submerged in natural dyes reminiscent of the elements.

Two colorways will soon take the stage. The first proffers a simple beige look, one inspired by the earth itself. Its canvas construction, whose coloring will vary due to the process itself, is wrapped adjacent with a graphic-heavy strap that illustrates many a mountain. The same design is flipped in color for the blue alternate, which draws influence from bodies of water.
