German designer Patrick Mohr has made a bold statement with his sneaker collaborations with Reebok and K1x. When asked why U.S. rappers like his sneakers, Mohr said to Sportswear International, “It’s a strong product, it's limited and not made by Nike or Adidas – they are looking for something that not everyone has. And the appeal of “Made in Germany” design does play a role, too.”
With artists such as Chris Brown, A$AP Rocky, and ILoveMakonnen rocking his previous designs, there is no doubt that his work has a uniqueness and exclusivity that connects with them, but that shouldn’t discredit Nike or adidas, either.
Mohr followed up by saying, “I am a visionary. I am neither a shoe designer nor can I be labeled a 'Berlin designer.' I am Patrick."
Mohr also recently designed three pairs of Reebok Ventilators. In the past, he's had an installation at Berlin's Solebox. And it was crazy, to say the least.
If this is the newest trend in hip-hop, we're truly in for some weird things.
