Noir Kei Ninomiya x Reebok platform sneakers

Noir Kei Ninomiya's collaboration with Reebok redefines athletic footwear with an avant-garde lens. These platform sneakers showcase a dramatic, sculpted silhouette and a high-gloss finish, transforming a classic sportswear design into a compelling statement for the contemporary wardrobe.

The art of the detail

The design’s black colorway creates a uniform, sculptural effect. Crafted with intricate fabric panels and glossy, structural overlays, the upper offers a unique interplay of textures. An almond toe maintains a refined shape, while the lace-up front ensures a secure fit. Set upon a substantial, carved rubber sole, these sneakers provide elevation and a confident stride, merging conceptual design with functional elements for a distinctive look and feel. The fabric insole completes the comfortable construction.

How to wear

Style these platform sneakers with a pleated midi skirt and a bomber jacket for a look that balances structured and fluid elements, ideal for gallery visits. For a more minimalist approach, pair the sneakers with wide-leg tailored trousers and a simple knit top, creating a polished yet directional outfit for creative workplaces or weekend city engagements. The commanding sole adds a point of interest to any ensemble.
