More Basquiat, more Reebok, more heat. CHeck out the details below…
Last March we showed you an interesting collaboration between Reebok’s rejuvenated lifestyle persona and Jean-Michel Basquiat’s contemporary art. The Reebok x Basquiat Spring/Summer 2010 Collection primarily featured white leather uppers and gum soles, fitting with the light-weather seasons. The upcoming Fall 2010 Collection not only uses darker colors, but adds five more shoes to the roster. The Omni Pump Court Victory Pump, Top Down, Ventilator, Running Dual, and Phase II, and two new designs in the Ree Down and City Jam round out the entire collection with each model housing the soul of a different work of art. Also available will be accompanying apparel – we’re talking jackets and graphic tees. Check out the collection and expect these at select Reebok retailers in the future.

More heat from Reebok’s upcoming Basquiat inspired line, this time with a few tees to match their kicks. Check out a few more images below…
Building upon the success of previous seasons, athletic gear giant Reebok partnered once again with the estate of street artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in designing the Spring/Summer 2010 series of the Jean-Michel Basquiat Pack. Taken inspiration from Basquiat’s Untitled (Suite of Fourteen Drawings) from 1981, a year before the young artist found himself in the middle of the New York art scene, the limited collection will include several Reebok staples – Omni Pump Lite, BB4600 Hi, and WMNS Pump Aerobic Lite Trainer Mid. A matching graphic tee will go along with each sneaker. The collection is scheduled to launch later this month at a number of Reebok retailers.
