The SOUTH2 WEST8 x Reebok IPF Mule Pack Releases July 2025

Founded in Hokkaido in 2003, SOUTH2 WEST8 has built a cult following for its refined take on outdoor gear, drawing inspiration from the region’s rugged northern landscapes and the traditional Japanese fly-fishing practice known as tenkara. When it comes to footwear, the label has worked with a variety of partners, including Reebok. Following the success of their previous Zig Kinetica II Edge collaborations, the duo is introducing the new SOUTH2 WEST8 x Reebok IPF Mule.

The IPF Mule reimagines a classic slip-on silhouette through the lens of advanced outdoor gear in two colorways, Black Green and Green Black, resulting in a versatile shoe equally at home navigating city streets or campgrounds. A durable ripstop upper is paired with tonal leather overlays and PrimaLoft® insulation for all-weather warmth. Subtle branding details like the embroidered SOUTH2 WEST8 stag logo, a co-branded footbed, and a custom pull tab round out the premium build. Each pair comes packaged in a custom box.

“The IPF Mule is our take on reimagining a high-tech sneaker through the lens of outdoor utility,” says SOUTH2 WEST8. “We wanted to create something that reflects both our brand’s outdoor heritage and a lifestyle approach that feels at home in urban spaces. Three collaborations in, the synergy between Reebok’s sport heritage and SOUTH2 WEST8’s design philosophy continues to evolve, and this design does exactly that.”

The SOUTH2 WEST8 x Reebok IPF Mule will release July 18, 2025, through NEPENTHES and select retailers. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $180.
