  • Reebok and Bodega Team Up for Special Pumps
    By on September 16th, 2007 | No Comments Comments

    The shoes above are the result of collaboration between Boston’s Bodega and Reebok. The market for this special set of Reebok Pumps is the jet setting sneaker fan who wants something to stand apart. As you can see, there is a map which has the route from New York to Boston for all of you Northeasterners who need to find a bus route out of town. This limited edition design will be limited to 100 pairs and these will be a hot ticket when they hit the stores.

    I would love to see the Reebok Pumps with other routes throughout the United States. Bodega naturally wants to cater to the people in their community who don’t care how to get from Chicago to St. Louis. Reebok should look into partnering with sneaker shops around the country and create a road warrior pack for every region.

    In fact, Reebok could take a page from New Balance and allow customization on the go. Pump fans could place a GPS system on the inside of the tongue to know where they are constantly. This suggestion is a joke, of course, and there is something interesting about purchasing these Pumps through Bodega. As a creature of the Midwest, a map covering the Boston to New York route may encourage may to stray away from the familiar. These ventures depend entirely on my bank account and whether these shoes will even be available by the time I make my move.

    Sprint Sneak

    Inspired by old school classic running sneakers, the Sprint Sneaker from Y-3 combine crackled putty colored leather with smooth patent gold and black stripes for a cool look.

    The combination of colors are flashy enough to look cool without being too bright. These shoes would be a great pick-up to wear with jeans.

    They’ll set you back $240 at eLuxury but look well-worth it.

  • The Sneakerbox (thesnkrbox) new custom designs by laser imprint.

    The Sneakerbox sneaks up to grab the market by launching a new product to laser on any custom design on the shoe’s outer covering. Pretty soon, they might have another innovative product to include sole custom designs. Currently, Sneakerbox advocates using this laser drawing on Nike, Adidas and Converse sneakers. Who knows when it will become available for other brands of shoes.

    I think this is great news. Before this, shoe lovers used to manually draw on or stencil in the graphics. Sometimes, a slight miscalculation resulted in odd mistakes. The machine holds a steady beam that will decorate your sneakers in a professional way. You won’t feel shy showing off your special custom graphics, having the backing of this great drawing tool.

    In my opinion, this product service is useful for branding for small teams of people. A team can get their custom logo and designs printed on the shoes in individual orders as and when required.The laser designs will last a long time and not look faded as opposed to traditional methods of hand printing designs. So, this makes it possible for even small school teams to wear the standard custom design in the show of unity.

  • Reebok Ventilator: Visible From Miles Away

    The upcoming Reebok Ventilator brings shoe addicts and runners alike an option in case they need to be seen at night. Others have cracked on the Ventilator’s wild colors and I am not particularly a fan of neon colors. I think, however, that the Ventilator is closer to the ideal pair of casual shoes than other offerings. It is going to be comfortable, less expensive than wild colored Nikes and you will stand out from the crowd. The only problem is finding an outfit to go with these kicks.

    I would recommend trying these shoes out when they hit stores later this fall. A run around your shoe store will show you that these are the same old Reeboks with a color scheme that comes from the future. I, for one, would love to have a piece of the future today. I will just need to break out a bright yellow Reebok track suit when I am doing my road work.
