The 27 year old artistic genius, Jean-Michel Basquiat, gained popularity as an artist by doing graffiti in the Subway as well as the ghetto ares of New York. Unfortunately, Basquiat is no longer with us but his art continues to influence modern day artists as well as products such as this Basquiat x Reebok NPC UK Basquiat sneaker. Reebok has commissioned the art of Basquiat and has transformed the NPC UK sneaker into a piece of wearable art. These shoes are available starting February 5th at Atmos Tokyo.
Next month on February 14th will be Valentines day. Every year for this occasion, different brands like Nike or Adidas will release Valentines Day themed sneakers. Here is Reebok’s take on the Valentines Day shoe. The shoes should be releasing soon at various Reebok retailers.

Largely considered by many to be the world’s greatest Trance DJ, Tiësto is the latest artist to partake in RBK’s DJ Collection of footwear. Tiësto holds an impressive resume which includes accolades such as playing the first solo DJ concert in the world, playing at the 2004 Athens Olympics and a 3 year consecutive run as "Best DJ in the World". This sneaker will be the official footwear of choice during Tiësto’s Elements of Life Tour (which also boasts an album by the same name).
Unlike previous RBK DJ Collection releases, the Tiësto model will be individually numbered between 0001-1000. The design itself incorporates a 3M upper with various references to Tiësto and his tour. Each package will also include a special CD including tracks from the Elements of Life album. Within the Netherlands, these shoes will be sold exclusively at Subzero, Front Runner and www.Tiësto.com with a price tag of €120 Euro (approximately $176 USD).
