reebok classic trainers

[Imis1979]

It’s getting scary cold out here in NY. Packer Shoes has teamed up with asics shoes to release a GEL-Lyte V inspired by George Costanza’s Gore-Tex jacket from the infamous “The Dinner Party” episode. These teasers reveal the GEL-Lyte V silhouette with black leather heels and burnt orange suede uppers, but given Packer Shoes’ penchant for taking things a step further with these fun projects, we expect there’s a lot more in store. Perhaps Tom’s Restaurant in the background suggests something special? Stay tuned for updates and re-watch the memorable clip below.


Packer Shoes and asics running shoes go a full five sets of sneakers for a massive collection inspired by the upcoming U.S. Open tennis tournament. Starting next Tuesday, the shop and the brand will open up a pop-up shop inside NYC’s Grand Central station, where all five shoes as well as an accompanying apparel collection (see here) will be up for grabs. The location is obviously a massive transportation hub, with the 7-train conveniently located just steps away (that is, if you’re attending a match). The pop-up shop is open from Tuesday to Friday next week, so peruse the gallery of footwear images below and get yours before they run out.


Ask anybody who originally wore the reebok classic trainers and they’ll tell you about how Dee Brown made it famous in the 1991 NBA Slam Dunk Contest with a few pumps and a soaring dunk. Reebok has been as aggressive as ever releasing some of their most classic sneakers from the Reebok Shaqnosis to Shawn Kemp’s Reebok Kamikaze, which begs the question: what else could Reebok possibly have in store? Reebook answers back with the Omni Lite in two new colorways based on white uppers that sees the toe box hit with either a red or black accent with the new addition of an icy blue transparent sole.


Always a favorite fine artist of the sneaker and streetwear scene, Takashi Murakami now brings his unique vision to a set of the vans shoes for a capsule collection. The perfect canvas (literally) as far as sneakers go for an artistic makeover, the Slip-On is featured in four variations of Murakami’s signature anime-influenced artwork including the “smiling flower” and skull motifs. Each premium construction of the shoe features leather inner lining and heel pad printed with a dog illustration and dual branding.
