Kasina x Reebok Phase 3 Runner

As part of the 'Dooly Dinosaur' pack which is apparently a Cartoon series. Korean retailer Kasina have released this Phase 3 Runner, if you are wondering why I have not featured the other 2 pairs in the pack it is because frankly they are laughable but somehow this pair is a diamond in the rough. I literally love the colorway and the mixture of furry suede and different meshes makes them look very much like a throwback from the past. Not sure how I would get hold of these but I will definitely have a go...

Swizz Beats x Reebok

No doubt the rumours regarding the Air Yeezy 2 won't have passed you by this week, but I feel the Swizz Beats x Reebok collaboration is much more worthy of some limelight seeing as the former is no doubt going to be overhyped for the next 12 months. These carry some definate shape characteristics of the original Yeezy but the materials and colorways on this preview look very good indeed, it will be interesting to see how these are receieved...

Crooked Tongues BBQ 2010

So yesterday was the annual CrookedTongues BBQ sponsored this year by Reebok. The event was a great success attracting a massive audience with a plethora of footwear, with free drinks and Nando's chicken you can't really ask for more from a day out. the only dissapointment was a lack luster Reebok stand which after such a big year with the Pump 20 campaign was sparsely decorated with some pretty average shoes, check out the pics taken by my beautiful assistant...

Highs and Lows x Reebok GL6000

The GL6000 is a model that has been growing on me for a few months since a resurge of colorway releases, and this collaboration with Australian retailer Highs and Lows in celebration of their 5th anniversary has topped the pile for me, the've just got such a nice aesthetic to them...

Military Trainers...

We all have seen the recent resurge in military styling, and this has been by no means overlooked by the shoe companies, this new colaboration between Converse and UNDFTD marks a big year for this style, here's a few of the highlights...

Fashion House Influence

Thanks to Kanye Wests exploits into the game last year, we have seen more and more of the fashion houses entering the industry with designs to lure in the heads. Although the purests don't want to see this happen it was an inevitable step in the industry once we were prepared to queue for hours to pay £150 for a pair of Nikes.

There is a definate upside to this new trend. Now that we have all this money from the top design houses flooding into shoes we are starting to see the knock down effect into the designs at the affordable end of the market. The Mark Ronson collection with Gucci looks to have influenced Onitsuka Tiger this year:


And the louis vuitton Kanye collaboration has inspired countless features in recent designs, below the be-tassled Adidas Nizza and Hanon's Reebok VCMP Stomper


I'm sure we'll see plenty more influences from the high end market, and this is just the beggining and I say spread the wealth...

BringBack Reebok Pump 20
