Dubbed ‘Wild Jungle’, there’s an obvious contrariness at work with the theme. Rather than spell it out literally using every exotic print in the animal kingdom, this is a tonal effort which favors delicate subtlety over a sledgehammer visual approach.

Custom ‘Zebra’ stripes add a highly reflective flash.

SNEAKER POLITICS X REEBOK VENTILATOR “LAKES” PACK
LAUNCH 11TH JULY

REEBOK CLASSIC PRESENTS THE
SNEAKER POLITICS x VENTILATOR DOUBLE PACK
‘3 LAKES’ AND ‘PINK LAKE’

Celebrating the 25th birthday of the Ventilator,
Reebok have collaborated with Sneaker Politics
to create this double pack of tasteful runners.

Creative motivation can come from a vision in your own backyard, or sometimes it arrives direct from a far-off exotic location. Derek Curry, owner of Sneaker Politics, drew his inspiration for this pair of Ventilators from unlikely geographical sources. “One of my staff takes an outrageous vacation every year. He found this spot in Western Australia, where there's a lake that's totally pink caused by algae. The surrounding grass is a lush emerald green, which gave us all the colours for the first shoe. Then, over in Indonesia, on top of a volcano, there are three lakes side by side. They're almost touching yet each is a totally different colour that makes it look crazy from the aerial photos. One of the lakes is green, one's closer to teal and then there's a deep blue lake as well. So we placed all those amazing colours together on our second Ventilator. It’s a cool story about travelling to some really remote places!

The ‘3 Lakes’ Ventilator is cloaked in a grey suede upper that mixes a trio of perforated nubucks with mint highlights. Sitting pretty on a speckled midsole, the crunchy addition really adds a contemporary twist to the Ventilator’s 25 year old good looks.

The ‘Pink Lake’ Ventilator delivers a little extra pop, with fuchsia midsoles dominating the colour blocking. Pastel pink suede tongues and micro-perf beige leather offer a nice contract in texture, while emerald green nubuck is the perfect foil to this aquatic double pack.
