Reebok Back (Here We GO!)

[ 1 ] June 11, 2011 |

Well….well….well, it appears that Reebok, the company that Paul Fireman paid $65,000 for the naming rights, in 1979, to sell the British sneakers in the United States, is wasting no time to boast that they’re BACK!

After heavily recruiting Swizz Beatz to become Creative Director and breathe new life into the Reebok Classics line, the brand has been pushing the Kamikaze line of sneakers like Dick Gregory was pitching his Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet back in the day.

Earlier in the week, we saw some behind-the-scene pictures from the video shoot for “Reebok Back” where, oddly enough, we spotted DJ Khaled wearing some Air Jordan XI IE sneakers.  Yeah, the OSD Crew thought the same thing and quickly exclaimed, “WTF?!”.

L to R: DJ Khaled wearing the Air Jordan 11 Low IE Black/Red, Swizz Beatz rocking the Reebok Twilight Zone, Rick Ross in the Reebok Omni Pump, and John Wall in the Swizz Beatz x Reebok Kamikaze.

So, Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Swizz Beatz and John Wall, along with what I have to assume was a ‘who’s who’ list of folks that showed up for the video shoot, and did their best impression of trying to convince folks that they’re feeling the sneakers and that YOU should buy a pair.  Well, that shit is not working!

Here’s some footage of the making of “Reebok Back” by Meek Mill featuring Swizz Beatz & Rick Ross, and you be the judge.

About Dee Wells: Dee Wells calls Worcester, MA his home but grew up in the beautiful US Virgin Islands(STT/STJ). Heavily influenced by Hip Hop, Dee has always been fascinated by people and what they wear. Thus, began his love for fashion and, more importantly, sneakers. It all started with him watching his parents play tennis; his father wore adidas Rod Laver sneakers, and his mother wore adidas Stan Smith sneakers. From there birthed Dee's love for leather and rubber. Dee's first pair of sneakers were Puma Clyde sneakers, which he religiously changed the laces in, and kept clean with water, Dawn dishwashing liquid, and a toothbrush. While Dee has amassed many pairs of sneakers, it's the stories that are the most important to Dee; he calls them Kickstories. Dee has also been instrumental with bringing the sneaker subculture to the forefront with his involvement with Sole Collector Magazine, and his latest creation, the OSD (Obsessive Sneaker Disorder) brand.
