Vetements x Reebok Genetically Modified Pump Sneakers

Size EU 43 Vetements reworks Reebok's Pump into a deliberately pieced-together sneaker. This black pair combines mesh with smooth and textured panels, layered lacing and Pump hardware set into the sides. The upper sits on a thick, segmented sole, with different surfaces doing the work that colour usually would. The collaboration belongs to Demna's period at Vetements, when everyday sportswear was being pulled apart and rebuilt on a luxury scale. The name Genetically Modified suits the result: recognisable Reebok components brought together in an unfamiliar shape.
