Kendrick Lamar x Reebok CL Leather Lux Review

Description

A household name in the music industry, and soon to be in the world of sneaker collaborations, Kendrick Lamar looks into his roots to redesign Reebok’s Classic Leather Lux. Coming from Compton, California where the gangs Bloods and Crisps are known to clash, Lamar makes use of the color green, as that is the result when blue and red, the gangs’ individual colors, are combined together. Crafted from premium leather, we think the blue and red text on the heel and the artist’s signature on the insole are nice finishing touches.

The Kendrick Lamar x Reebok CL Leather Lux features a green colorway made from premium leather with blue and red text on the heel, sitting atop a gum sole. Being the color result when red and blue are combined, these sneakers are inspired by the heat between Bloods and Crips from the artist’s hometown in Compton, southern California.
