Packer Shoes x Reebok Workout 25th Anniversary

To celebrate ’25 Years of Workout’, Reebok has set off on a mass collaborative campaign featuring fifteen of the most well-respected footwear retailers worldwide and the Reebok Workout. Most of what we’ve showed you so far has come from outside American soil, like the funky fish-scale concept produced by Solebox or the hiking boot motif honed in by Titolo. Packer Shoes of Teaneck, NJ chose to represent the Reebok Workout with a simple two-toned punch of maroon suede and a gum sole, adding additional cream accents as a call-out to the store logo’s color scheme. These are definitely one of the cleanest Reebok Workouts we’ve seen to date, and it’s no surprise that it comes out from the Packer Shoes camp, who hasn’t missed with a Reebok collab yet. Check out the detailed angles below, and stick with Sneaker News for release info and updates regarding the Reebok ’25 Years of Workout’ collection. via HS.

Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump U.S. Open   Release Info

At long last, the good old US of A finally gets its turn to shine with the fourth and final installment of the Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump ‘Grand Slam Pack.’ Last, but not least, the U.S. Open edition is coming your way, just in time for the weekend and this year’s tennis madness out in Flushing, Queens. The U.S. Open Pump not only sports the solid blue of the U.S. Open court, but also flaunts a full 3M upper to celebrate the bright lights and flashing cameras of NYC. Additional hits of tennis ball neon and a special ‘QUEENS NY’ insole finish off the design, but there’s still more in store with this release. Joining the shoes will be a shirt and sticker set featuring Kramer, the “ball man” from the classic U.S. Open episode of Seinfeld. A great tie-in with the Seinfeld theme, the shirt is a clever collaboration between Vandal-A and Packer Shoes, with Kramer now rocking what else, but the U.S. Open Pumps. The shirt along with stickers will be packaged with the Pumps and made available for purchase this Thursday, September 1st, in-store at Packer Shoes, as well as through their online shop.

Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump U.S. Open

The fourth and final leg of tennis’s yearly Grand Slam is about to get underway, and with that, comes the final installment of the Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump ‘Grand Slam Pack’ – one of the more creative and well-executed multi-shoe packs we’ve seen so far in 2011. After a lot of head turning and quick sell-outs from the Australian, French and Wimbledon editions, last but not least comes the U.S. Open version. Inspired by the blue court with some tennis ball neon yellow for added pop, the U.S. Open Pump fits right in with a bold look of its own, especially when the full 3M upper is reflecting in the light. You can get another look after the jump and stay tuned for release info coming soon.

Celebrity Feet: Chi McBride   Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump Wimbledon

Veteran actor Chi McBride has long been a man known for his enviable sneaker arsenal and is no stranger to turning heads with his footwear choices. Chi was recently snapped doing just that on the set of the TNT show HawthoRNe in a pair of the recently released Wimbledon Court Victory Pumps from the Packer Shoes x Reebok ‘Grand Slam Pack.’ Never one to shy away from a bold look, Chi keeps it fresh for summer while enjoying a cigar and a script in his green suede Pumps. We can only hope that the kicks slipped through the wardrobe process and wound up on his feet during the show’s filming, but we’ll just have to wait to see.
