Reebok has plenty of footwear styles in the cannon to fire out this Spring, and now it has just officially unveiled a duo of makeups that fall under its fashion in line vertical — the Premier Road Modern “Pure Blue” and the DMX Trail Shadow “Clay Red”.The Reebok Premier Road Modern is a model that, since originally debuting in August of 2020, has garnered a sizable amount of attention for its semi-chunky build and fashion-forward sensibility. Its next act — this vivid “Pure Blue” makeup — serves as the offering’s fourth colorway of the SS21 season. Much like the model’s silver colorway that launched earlier this year, this next variation goes for the monochromatic theme and uses its titular hue to wrap the uppers and midsoles from front to back. Evidence of contrasting solely pops out through the outsoles which feature areas of stark black.Its launch counterpart — DMX Trail Shadow “Clay Red” — deviates with two-toned uppers. Synthetic and mesh layers that forge the heightened parts of the base are painted in its nominal hue while subtle accents of black poke out through the laces as well as silver stripes on the overlays. Smooth mudguards are designed in black and contrasted with “Clay Red” stitchings, while the trail-ready sole unit is dyed entirely in more black.The Premier Road Modern drops at select retailers like Bodega for $200 USD while the DMX Trail Shadow pair launches at shops via certain shops like Allike for $160 USD.Elsewhere in footwear news, two more colorways of the Reebok Zig 3D Storm Hydro have been revealed.

Nike has made its Air Force 1 Flyknit even more environmentally friendly by adding renewable Crater Foam to its midsole, creating the Air Force 1 Crater Flyknit. Debuting in a “Wolf Grey” colorway, the Air Force 1 Crater Flyknit is built from at least 20% recycled content by weight — and blends multiple patterns and tones for a highly detailed look.Made mostly of stretchy Flyknit, the sock-like upper provides two different shades. A signature “Wolf Gray” is sued on the toeboxes and quarters, while a tri-color blend of interwoven gray, blue and red threads adds vibrance to mudguards and heels alike. Swooshes and heel tabs are done up in an off-white tone and made from a linen-like material. More pops of vibrance are provided by the bright red Nike Sportswear tongue badge and the volt green insole with a classic Nike Sunburst logo.Down below, Crater Foam midsoles are presented in “Wolf Grey” as well and feature a bumpy texture thanks to multicolor flecks of recycled rubber. Outsoles are cored out under the midfoot to save weight, but are reinforced with a classic star traction pattern on toes and heels alike to increase durability. The Nike Air Force 1 Crater Flyknit “Wolf Grey” is set to release via the Nike GB webstore on May 6. Its retail price has yet to be announced.For more from the world of the Swoosh, check out HYPEBEAST’s rankings of Travis Scott’s best Nike and Jordan Brand collaborations.
