END. x Reebok Ventilator “Husky”

Posted on May 31, 2015May 31, 2015 by bythelevel

For their second collaborative project, END. and Reebok look to celebrate the classic ‘Ventilator’ silhouette’s 25th anniversary as they give the shoe a premium rework inspired by the fastest canine on the planet – the Husky.

The Husky is usually associated with the colder months, renowned for pulling sleds in Alaska and other similar northern regions, but colour application for this rework on the classic runner makes for a great summer trainer, with light hues of grey, pink and blue. Maintaining its original features, the Ventilator gives the same comfort, support and flexibility as its first incarnation, but the shoe has been updated with a soft brushed suede, reminiscent of the Husky’s thick long haired coat. The premium upper sits on top of a bright white midsole and matching hits of light blue and pink on the outsole. Further detailing includes a custom co-branded insoles, two additional sets of laces, husky branded hangtags, as well as a limited edition frosted Perspex shoe box in which the shoes arrive.

The END. x Reebok Ventilator “Husky” will be available in-store from June the 4th and will be arriving online at www.endclothing.co.uk from June the 6th.

Though simple, this collaboration is an obvious homage to what defined my youth, and the music that inspired me to pursure street culture. What you’re getting is an unfiltered look at true O.G.s who shaped West Coast culture as we know it, teamed with a brand dedicated to telling that story.”
