Andrew Rizzo Following projects with Jeff Staple and Extra Butter, Brooks is continuing to expand its partner rolodex by welcoming Chicago’s RSVP Gallery into the fold. Founded by Don C and Virgil Abloh, the boutique is expected to unveil its first Brooks sneaker at Paris Fashion Week later this month. As a bit of an appetizer, Don C just teased the collaboration on his Instagram story.
While the link-up aligns well with Brooks’ continued ambitions in the lifestyle space, the sneaker in question is a defacto trail runner. The Brooks Caldera 8 is here presented with a ton of hardware changes, namely a new khaki-colored ripstop base. The heel counter is removed and replaced by a thin fabric overlay, complete with a black TPU accent featuring RSVP Gallery branding on the lateral side. Underfoot, the model’s ultra-cushioned, geometric midsole remains unaltered.
Don C is scheduled to appear on a Brooks panel at Paris Fashion Week on June 25th, so we’re expecting the sneaker to be officially unveiled around then. For now, enjoy a teaser image of the RSVP x Brooks collab below.
