Out of the various Nike Vac Tech sneakers, ones utilizing wool arguably look the best. Here is a great example of that with these new Nike Blazer Mid VTs that have just released.

After having recently unveiled the Foot Patrol, Espionage and Sneakersnstuff collaborations with Reebok for the Workout 25th Anniversary celebrations, we now move on to the next one. Fullerton California store BEATNIC was also invited to create its very own interpretation of the Workout Plus.

The store was inspired by the original Reebok Pump Fury colorway and tried to stay as true as possible to the sneaker. Unfortunately their request for pump functionality on the shoe was not brought to reality, but otherwise materials and colors pretty perfectly reflect the OG colors onto the Workout Plus.

The BEATNIC x Reebok Workout 25th Anniversary sneaker will release along with the other retailer collaborations on February 15th, 2012. Detailed images of the sneaker follow on our dedicated Reebok Workout 25th Anniversary Microsite.

Next up in the Reebok 25th Anniversary retailer collaboration series is London, UK’s Foot Patrol. The inspiration for their interpretation of the Reebok Workout 25th anniversary shoe comes from London and its almost perpetual state of grey – the generally dull and cloudy weather and concrete surroundings. Heavy brushed suede and a creamy gum sole fits Foot Patrol’s outlook of taking the rough with the smooth.

The sneaker will drop along with all other collaborations on February 15th, 2012.

Check out the sneaker in detail, as well as all other previously revealed collaborations with Espionage, Sneakersnstuff, 24 Kilates, Solebox, Starcow, Sneakers76, Packer Shoes and mita sneakers on our dedicated Reebok Workout 25th Anniversary Microsite.
