Reebok<\/a>, the iconic sports culture brand, and SOUTH2 WEST8<\/a>, the Hokkaido-based outdoor label, have announced their latest collaboration: the Reebok x SOUTH2 WEST8 IPF Mule<\/a>. This fresh silhouette merges technical performance with clean, minimalist design, offering a slip-on shoe that feels equally at home in remote outdoor settings and modern city streets.<\/p>\n

The model will launch worldwide on July 18, 2025<\/strong> in two distinctive colorways including, green and black at NEPENTHES<\/a> and select global retailers starting at 10 a.m. ET, priced at $180.<\/p>\n

A Collaboration Built on Shared Vision<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Founded in 2003, SOUTH2 WEST8<\/a> draws from the rugged beauty of northern Japan and the traditional craft of tenkara<\/strong> fly fishing. This foundation has made the brand synonymous with outdoor functionality paired with refined aesthetics. Through previous partnerships with Reebok<\/a>\u2014including the Zig Kinetica II Edge<\/a> and Zig Kinetica II Edge 2.5<\/a> from 2022\u2014the two labels have demonstrated a knack for blending performance engineering with distinct style.<\/p>\n

With their third project together, the creative chemistry is stronger than ever. Both brands value technical craftsmanship, but also understand the importance of pieces that transition seamlessly between environments.<\/p>\n

IPF Mule: Built for Movement and Comfort<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The IPF Mule<\/a> represents a hybrid approach to footwear design, prioritizing ease of wear<\/strong> and functional durability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SOUTH2 WEST8<\/strong> said<\/a>, \u201cThe IPF Mule<\/a> is our take on reimagining a high-tech sneaker through the lens of outdoor utility. We wanted to create something that reflects both our brand\u2019s outdoor heritage and a lifestyle approach that feels at home in urban spaces. Three collaborations in, the synergy between Reebok<\/a>\u2019s sport heritage and SOUTH2 WEST8<\/a>\u2019s design philosophy continues to evolve, and this design does exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slip-on comfort is elevated with premium materials, including a ripstop textile upper strengthened by leather overlays, while PrimaLoft<\/a> insulation provides warmth and adaptability through shifting weather conditions.<\/p>\n
