In an attempt to fuse ecological awareness with creative design, Rolland Berry has teamed up with Reebok once again to create this latest series of sneakers. Much of the upper for each sneaker utilizes hand chosen vintage fabrics from the 60s and early 70s. These one of a kind sneakers also include the use of remnant fabrics from old Reebok projects. Despite all these one of a kind features, each sneaker will have a green strip along the midsole, green lining on the footbed, green tongue logo and a shoe bag created from fabrics seen on each respective sneaker. Available soon at Barneys New York.
Although much of the retros these days take a lot of heat for not releasing products to their truest original form, Reebok has changed things up for the better with their latest Chain Gang pack. Involving some of Reebok’s most classic releases, each model incorporates a special “Play Dry” inner lining. The “Play Dry” technology allows for proper moisture management and also includes an anti-microbial footbed. Available in the first quarter of 2008 at select retailers.

Originally the weapon of choice for American tennis star Michael Chang in the early 1990s, the Reebok Court Victory Pump is set to be released in a new updated Glow in the Dark colorway. When fully exposed to light, the sneaker is dominated by a white upper. However, once the lights go out, a futuristic abstract design occupies the white space. Available at atmos on October 19th.
In a bizarre twist, Reebok has joined the latest group of sneaker brands employing the Earth Elements theme. This pack of sneakers include three renditions based off of the earth, wind, water and fire theme. This earth element theme are strewn across the ERS2000, Court Victory and a new style, the Nightsky Mid-a-Hiker. This pack will release on January 1st, while the other elements will release along different seasons.
