Over the past few years, Nepenthes labels such as Engineered Garments and Needles have teamed up with some of the sneaker industry's biggest brands for a vast selection of projects. Now, South2 West8, which falls under the same umbrella, is set to get its very own shoe collaboration with the South2 West8 x Reebok Zig Kinetica II Edge "Clover Green." Arriving just weeks after it announced its upcoming SS23 collection, here's everything that you need to know.
Inspired by tenkara-tsuri, which is a traditional Japanese style of fly fishing, S2W8's take on the Zig Kinetica II Edge takes the brand's outdoorsy vibe to another level. Working on top of a military camo base, bold clover green suede panels wrap around the rest of the upper for a highly-contrasted look and feel. Straps run across the entire shoe for an ultra rugged aesthetic, and underfoot, you'll find a chunky speckled midsole that comes equipped with a Vibram rubber outsole for traction and durability that knows no bounds. This is all rounded off with the Kaname Nagaoka-helmed brand's signature deer head logo on the tongues, finalizing the design.
Perfect for the Fall, the South2 West8 x Reebok Zig Kinetica II Edge Clover Green is scheduled to release on October 1st, 2022 in men's sizes. Retail is set at $165, and these will be available at South2 West8, Reebok, and select retailers worldwide.
