Reebok DMX Trail Shadow Approach "Deep Forest"
Release Date: April 1
Where to Buy: Select retailers such as Packer, Bodega, and SSENSE
Editor’s Notes: The "Deep Forest" iteration of the DMX Trail Shadow Approach draws from green landscapes traversed while hiking and traditional mountaineering footwear of the same color. Inspired by '90s hiking looks, the Reebok sneaker boasts an oversized mudguard that extends upward from the sole. While heavily influenced by the outdoors, the DMX Trail Shadow Approach is designed for urban wear and mountain exploration alike.

Undoubtedly ahead of its time, the old school Air Max model initially released in 1999. The 2021 iteration, however, has been updated with modern technology, while still being anchored by Tuned Air and that eye-catching iridescent finish.
