Reebok's ZigMaze Concept Shoe

via. LikeCool 


Reebok's newest sneaker design, the ZigMaze, is a totally unique, and in my opinion, amazing shoe concept! The tread design on the sole has been carried across the entire shoe and creates a new, fresh look and feel to the traditional sneaker. 


I think that shoe designers need to continue to experiment and add new textures to their designs, things that feel as interesting as they look. Shoes are really 3-D art if you think about it...


Rumors have it these shoes would go for about $120 retail.
What do you think? Hot or Not?
