Apparently designer John Maeda takes both a right and left brain approach to his artistic creations. Maeda a long time collaborator with Reebok has fashioned the ERS 5000 in a mix of translucent and metallic silver elements. Apparently Maeda looked to the first Law of Simplicity to guide his design approach in creating the sneaker. The law states "the simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction". You can pick up these now at select shops.
Here is a late look at a razor sharp pair of Reebok ERS 5000 created in collaboration with Strasbourg based shop RZO. The kicks draw their inspiration from an Andy Warhol painting of Marylyn Monroe known as Maryline in Gold. The kicks released in limited numbers on the 30th of January so hunting these may prove to be a challenge.
The kicks dropped at RZO in Paris and Strasbourg.
Update: the kicks are available online at RZO.

Saint Patrick's Day is just around the corner. To celebrate the holiday Reebok will release two sneakers. The Reebok ERS 5000 features a white/green colorway with touches of gold. The kicks feature some interesting gold printed images throughout. Ladies can cop a Reebok Freestyle Hi in pastel green for $70. Look for these now in shops that carry Reeboks.
