Go Fly Fishing in the SOUTH2 WEST8 x Reebok Zig Kinetica 2 Edge

Reebok collaborations are among the best in the sneaker game. Some tap right into pop culture content, like the Power Rangers stuff, while others channel a little bit more of the esoteric IYKYK vibe. Their new effort with SOUTH2 WEST8 falls into the latter category, which sees the Zig Kinetica 2 Edge dressed appropriately for the brand’s natural habitat of the great outdoors.

This model sees some sturdy upgrades compared to its previous iterations. The most obvious is its beefy Vibram rubber tread, cleated aggressively to latch onto loose surfaces. It’s shod underneath Reebok’s Zig midsole for flexibility and cushioning, making way for the star of the show: a very on-brand upper. S2W8, a Japanese GORP brand with a particular penchant for fly fishing, spec out the model with dark teal green overlays among their distinct brown textile camo inserts, finishing it with practical components like the rubberised toe bumper.

The SOUTH2 WEST8 x Reebok Zig Kinetica 2 Edge will release in Japan on November 5 ahead of a global release at selected retailers on November 18.
