John Maeda x Reebok ERS 5000 “Reduce”
Posted by George Kiel III | Jul 29, 2009
Dating back to 2007, graphic designer John Maeda and Reebok have created a couple of very nice sneakers such as the Ventilator Timetanium. Presently, John Maeda and Reebok have joined efforts once again to create this Reebok ERS 5000. Both sides have collaborated to form some very unique creations as evident of the aforementioned Ventilator; however, this particular design lacks the extraordinary details and sticks to a basic makeup. It possesses a tonal metallic silver upper combined with a traditional white sole and plastic eyelets. The shoe itself draws inspiration from Law 1 in Maeda’s book, The Laws of Simplicity (“The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.”). This Reebok ERS 5000 is now available at select retailers. Click here to view detailed photos. |
