Look Closer presents… Creative Recreation Deross

Look Closer is all about giving you the opportunity to see the best footwear, sportswear, and product in the performance, fashion, and lifestyle categories in up-close and personal, high-quality portraiture served with a side of expert commentary. Inspired and provided by Managing Partner Sandy Dover.


Nick Jonas has become quite the star since breaking out from his brother boy band, The Jonas Brothers, in recent years. As a singer/songwriter (and even actor), for a kid that had not long ago struck out on his own with members of Prince’s New Power Generation for his solo debut, to become a style icon seems a little farfetched seeing where he started — but things aren’t always so farfetched.

As the lead man for the new Fall 2016 campaign, Nick Jonas was tapped by Creative Recreation to lead the new collection, but in particularly, the star lifestyle sneaker — the Creative Recreation Deross.

Creative Rec describes it as this:

The Deross is a fashionable, running-inspired low-top that is both futuristic and highly versatile.

Built on a durable Vibram rubber outsole and Vagabond EVA midsole, the Creative Recreation Deross Red sneaker comes with easy on/off pull loops, an elastic stretch fit system, and is engineered with moisture-wicking sports-mesh lining.

Here’s what we can confirm — the Deross is light, the Deross is snazzy, and the Deross is very comfortable (and that Vibram x Vagabond sole combination is one of the best cushioning setups in footwear today).

Fortunately, you can take a closer look at the subject for yourself. You’re welcome.
