The latest collaboration between END., Reebok, and The Streets, spearheaded by UK underground music pioneer Mike Skinner, revitalises the Reebok Classic Leather series. This partnership honours Skinner’s profound influence with his direct lyrics, debuting the “Black Gold Metallic” IE5902. This sneaker reflects Skinner’s current musings and his enduring impact on music.
The designers have used nylon ripstop and nubuck in a rich black colourway, offering a stark contrast to another version that echoes Skinner’s earlier career in pristine white. The “Black Gold Metallic” not only mirrors Skinner’s current reflections but also features iconic graphics and block lettering from The Streets across the sidewall, tongue, and even peeking through the gum rubber outsole.
Crafted from a combination of textile and calf leather, this sneaker offers both durability and a premium feel. Gold-tone lace tips provide a touch of elegance, while embroidered branding firmly links the shoe with The Streets’ musical legacy.
The robust rubber outsole ensures these sneakers are suitable for everyday wear yet remain special enough for collectors and music fans. The black, gold metallic, and white palette ensures these sneakers can complement a wide range of outfits.
The END. x The Streets x Reebok Classic Leather “Black Gold Metallic” IE5902 stands out as more than just footwear; it’s a tribute to musical history and inventive design, appealing to those who value unique, meaningful collaborations in their sneaker collection.
