KangaROOS x Glory Hole Reeperbahn Ultimate R1

The KangaROOS x Glory Hole Reeperbahn Ultimate R1 is a daring and evocative collaboration that pays homage to the infamous Reeperbahn district in Hamburg, Germany. Known for its vibrant nightlife and cultural significance, the Reeperbahn serves as both inspiration and backdrop for this unique release. The sneaker features a provocative design with very premium materials, mirroring the district’s edgy and dynamic atmosphere. Limited to a very small production run of only 400 pairs, the shoe reflects the exclusivity and allure of its muse.

The Ultimate R1, one of KangaROOS’ flagship silhouettes, is celebrated for its handcrafted construction and dedication to quality. The meticulous craftsmanship, performed in Germany, underscores KangaROOS’ commitment to blending heritage and innovation.

This collaboration with Glory Hole, a Hamburg-based boutique known for its boundary-pushing concepts, transforms the sneaker into a wearable tribute to the cultural and historical essence of the Reeperbahn. 

The sneaker is full of hiden details and extras that reference specific landmarks and symbols from the Reeperbahn district. One of the standout elements are the money graphics on the outsole and box, symbolizing the commerce and nightlife of the Reeperbahn, and it's underground reputation. Adding to the bold theme, each pair features two widespread legs, a cheeky tribute to the area’s nightlife culture.

By combining bold design, premium craftsmanship, and a compelling story, this release stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and storytelling in the world of exclusive sneakers.
