JJJJound x Reebok NPC II

Putting the emphasis on basic, JJJJound have returned with their customary minimalist style and run with it, encapsulating the ‘NPC’ internet trend with Reebok’s own NPC model. The pair rock Reebok’s low-lying silhouette with JJJJound’s signature branding, which arrives on the midfoot in embossed gold lettering. The all-white pair feature aged features on the midsole, sock lining, and tongue areas, with the interesting part about this release being that each pair are individual in their composition, with each individual pair being made with very slight differences so that no two pairs are the same. If you want something for every occasion, these sneakers are just the ticket.
