In the unforgettable words of clairvoyant Smash Mouth: "The collabs start comin' and they don't stop comin'." Or something like that. In that vein, Reebok has produced a plethora of eye-catching and hype-inducing releases over the past few years, bringing unexpected artists and collaborators to the halls of the longstanding sportswear giant. The latest such release is the third installment of Reebok's partnership with rapper—and best dressed man alive, imo—A$AP Nast, invoking the style icon's keen eye for the current moment wrapped up in an outdoors-inspired silhouette. The A$AP Nast x Reebok Zig Kinetica 2.5 is releasing on December 2nd.

In typical Nast fashion, the shoes are built on an understated color palette punctuated by unorthodox structural components, like the removable textile shroud and Vibram Ecostep lugged outsole.

Since its inception in 2020, the Zig Kinetica ushered in a new era for the Reebok's ZigTech of the 2010s, before going onto to develop elevated versions of the model: the Zig Kinetica II and Zig Kinetica II Edge. In 2021, A$AP Nast and Reebok joined forces for the first time on the Classic Leather Legacy and then a version of the Zig Kinetica II Edge. On these previous 2021 collabs, Nast commented:


“Reebok is the first and only brand I’ve ever proactively reached out to work with because I knew I wanted to create something special with them to be a part of my legacy. I wanted to create my own version of a Reebok icon.”
