Miami-based Shoe Gallery has collaborated with Reebok to pay tribute to the iconic Ventilator silhouette and the significant event of the 1980 El Mariel boatlift, which saw the arrival of numerous Cuban immigrants in Miami. The Shoe Gallery x Ventilator 'El Mariel' showcases an exquisite white patent leather upper with strategic perforations for enhanced breathability and a stylish Buzz Blue inner lining. Moreover, the sneaker boasts overlays on the leather side panels, "El Mariel" lettering on the heel, a subtle nod to Miami's area code with "FL 305 US," and anchor graphics on the translucent outsole. This collaboration perfectly combines the historical significance of the boatlift with a fashionable and modern design.
