As one of the original Reebok Kamikaze II colorways, the bold contrast of the Reebok Kamikaze II Black/White will always be revered by sneaker enthusiasts. In fact, the Kamikaze II could easily be viewed as a defining design of the 90s with its attention grabbing, alternating color combination on the upper. Reebok’s intention with the Kamikaze line was to make a sneaker that was easily recognizable from a distance and it’s safe to say they were successful. The Kamikaze II is one of the sneakers worn by Seattle Supersonics legend, Shawn Kemp. The Reign Man, thanks to his partner in crime back then, Gary Payton, was one of the most prolific dunkers of the day. The memories of the high-flying Kemp, along with the can’t miss black and white design of the Kamikaze II has helped to make this Reebok a classic. In 1995, the Reebok Kamikaze II was one of the premier sneakers of the era thanks to Hexalite cushioning and the zig-zag like pattern on the side and heavy contrast of the black and white made its design one of the most desirable from the Reebok catalog. As one of only a handful of original colorways, the Reebok Kamikaze II Black/White is one that many sneakerheads will get nostalgic about, especially considering 2013 is the only time it has returned as a retro.
