The trend of high fashion designers teaming up with sneaker manufacturers has been growing strongly over the past few months, DC Shoes, Adidas, and New Balance . Now designer Christopher Shannon has chosen a collection of Reebok’s as inspiration for his latest collection.
In the collection unveiled at London’s fashion week, the Reebok Ex-O-Fit SG in multiple colorways, along with a bright pair of Reebok AXT Pump trainers. Christopher used the bright and bold colors in his Spring/Summer collection which go perfectly with these Throwbacks from Reebok. The AXT Pump Trainers take unique approach with both yellow and orange laces integrated in, which surprisingly somehow looks fitting.

In attempt to remind you, the Jordan "Road to the Championship" Pack - Phoenix Suns is set to drop this Saturday, February 28th, 2009. However, following the Suns pack, the Jordan "Road to the Championship" Pack - Seattle Supersonics will be hitting retailers on March 14th, 2009.
The pack will consist of two colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Phat Low and a Jordan 6 Rings model. One Phat Low is in a home colorway of a white base with green and yellow accents, while the other colorway features a black base with accents of green and yellow. The 6 Rings model contains a white base with multiple yellow and green laser designs throughout the upper. Do you Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp and the rest of the Sonics would approve of these?

We have dropped a few hints as well as asked our friends on twitter if you would be down with Nice Kicks giving away a pair of Nike 1/2 Cents, and there seem to be no objections! Fill out the form below to put your name in the hat! Winner will be announced and notified on Monday in the newsletter.
Taking inspiration from a couple of arguably the greatest Air Jordans of all time, these Nike Air Burst Huarache releases are a great tribute to MJ’s legacy.
The Cool grey version comes in the same make up as the Air Jordan XI of the same colorway, while the Bred XI’s are the inspiration for the other pair. The Bred colorway is always popular, but the Cool Grey colorway was essentially the one that started the trend of grey kicks that has spread like wild fire throughout the sneaker world.
We have recently showed you exclusive photos of the Jordan Dub Zero in black/varsity maize and black/laser blue. Although many of you thought those colorways were exceptional, could this Jordan Dub Zero Black/Red be the best color scheme yet?
Similar to the aforementioned colorways, this sneaker features a predominately black base; however, what sets this shoe apart from the other two is the black tonal laser designs on the upper. The other two colorways contain white laser designs, but the black laser drawings give this sneaker a more sleeker, fresh look. Red accents appear on the tongue, ankle area and heel. Expect to see the Jordan Dub Zero at your nearest retailers in the summer. Click here to view more photos. Via Marquee Sole.
Reebok has decided to drop one of Allen Iverson’s most memorable signature sneakers. The Reebok Answer 1 Retro dropped back in 1996-1997 against tough competition in the sneaker world, going head to head with the likes of MJ’s Air Jordan XIII, and Kobe’s KB8 Adidas.
This time around the competition will be just as tough on the Black/Red colorway on the Reebok Answer 1, if not tougher. However the career of Iverson nearly fifteen years after these originally dropped makes these even more iconic then they were the first time around. Whether or not your a Reebok, or an Iverson fan, you’ve gotta respect these kicks and their place in the history of our culture.
No word on when these will drop but we’ll definitely keep you informed.
Reebok has teamed up with rap group Kidz in the Hall to promote the Classic Remix Collection set to drop this spring. The collection will consist of new colorways of classic Reebok footwwar models such as the EX-O-Fit, the LS Ease and the SK7000. It will only be available at Footlocker retailers.
Kidz in the Hall will represent the music side of promoting the Reebok Classic Remix Collection. The hip hop group has created a ‘remix’ to the classic “I Got it Made” song by Special Ed (click here to listen). The remixed track will only be available for download to customers who purchase footwear from the Classic Remix collection on March 10th, 2009. Look for more colorways and models throughout the year along with remixed tracks from artists such as B.O.B and Kid Sister.
We’ve recently seen some pretty “unique” colorways of the Jordan 6 Fusion. This most recent colorway is definitely one of the better colorways of the 6.
The Air Jordan 6 Fusion Court Blue comes in the 5/8 cut which is somewhere in between a low top and a high top. The white upper sits on a visible Air unit that has been integrated into the Air Force 1 midsole. The Court Blue color that accents the white is combined with University Blue to make a colorway that strikingly resembles another Jordan, the Air Jordan 7 “French” colorway.
The Converse Weapon in the mid-eighties changed the sneaker game, the marketing and advertising campaigns put together by the Converse team were ground-breaking. The ads that featured Magic and Bird put sneakers in front of more people than ever before.
This weekend some new colorways of this game changing sneaker will be releasing. A Lakers low top colorway in black with yellow and purple accents, along with a high top version in black and green for the Boston Celtics. Both colorways feature the creative “weapresent” moniker across the tongue.
Lately, Vans Vault has been hard at work as we have seen upcoming pack releases such as the Peacoat, Del Barco Mid and Del Barco Low. Another upcoming pack release, dubbed the Eco Pack, will soon hit retailers, and we have photos of one sneaker included in it.
This Vans Era model contains a two-toned blue/red upper; however, the most interesting feature is the Maharam sustainable material the upper is made of. It is also complimented with a white rubber sole and comes with an extra pair of blue laces. Click here to view more photos. Thanks to Hypebeast for the info. Via Ripe.
