California based brand Publish in collaboration with Reebok present a black Furylite AFF and a white Furylite Chukka AFF TXT in what they are calling their “Dark Desert Project”.

Drawing their inspiration from the two contrasting sides of a powerful elemental force – the volcano. Utilising the Publish approach of crossing the borders between art and fashion the two shoes represent the moments before and after a volcanic explosion.

The slight off-white tones represent the calm before the storm in a majestic sandy landscape whereas the monolithic, boot-like Furylite Chukka makes up the canvas of an opposing image. The all black upper is reminiscent of ash clouds darkening the sky after an eruption and the destructive force that changes its surrounding territories drastically.

Both models have the Publish logo in pride of place on the tongue with a synthetic mesh upper for a soft and breathable fit. The 3D Ultralite outsole adds lightweight cushioning, the moulded quarter panel adds support and the padded sock liner gives that little extra bit of comfort to this well thought out release.
