Garbstore And Reebok Classic Prepare Third Collection
Whodathunk that a brand with such a dirty name could create something so clean – are back for their third rendezvous with Reebok and they've again produced some tight and tidy, totally uncluttered designs. The press release we've been sent about the range also harnesses the exceptionally professional feel of the whole colab; it's well written and tells us everything we need to know about each shoe in the pack without the jargon. Anyone in the media business knows that's a rare thang, so we're gonna let the source do the talking just this one time...

Muted colorways form the backdrop of the two 6000 styles, which combine soft neutral tones for understated, timeless style.

The 90s Classic runner returns for the collaboration, featuring contrasting textures and colors that result in a contemporary and daring interpretation of the silhouette.

A speckled sole provides a final dash of style and fresh update for fall.
The fourth style from the collection, the , is reworked into a mid-boot for a new take on the staple silhouette.
