The Hot Ones x Reebok Shaqnosis Brings The Heat To Your Feet

The Hot Ones x Reebok Shaqnosis Brings The Heat To Your Feet

Reebok has been having quite the resurgence as of late with their slew of fresh collaborations and  recent revival of some of their greatest Basketball silhouettes. The Question has had collaborations with skate brand Ice Cream and former NBA MVP James Harden of the Houston Rockets, the Kamikaze II is set to return in its original glory but that team at Reebok would be ill-advised to leave out Hall of Fame Center Shaquille O’Neal’s debut silhouette — the Reebok Shaqnosis. 

This time the Reebok Shaqnosis collides with First We Feast’s Hot Ones for a perfect amalgamation. The silhouette is dressed in an all Black leather and suede upper with its signature hypnotic rings colored with red, orange, yellow, and green to match the show’s Scoville meter. The Scoville meter itself appears on the tongue of the shoe as the pepper logo and the text “Scoville Level 1,995,000” directly pasted from the Youtube series.

The shoe’s sock liner features a flame graphic and the Hot Ones logo finds itself on the shoes’ insoles, a similarly inconspicuous flame graphic can be found on the toe of the shoe as well. This collaboration is a wonderful exercise in subtlety as it takes one of the series most iconic elements and transforms it. The Hot Ones x Reebok Shaqnosis is eye-catching yet understated especially for shoes based around the idea of eye-watering spiciness.

These Scoville raising shoes are set to burn your feet on November 19th at Reebok.com

Travis Scott continues to be an entertainment maverick, creating new experiences in each realm in which he chooses to delve. From virtual concert experiences in Fortnite, to creating a meal and match merchandise for McDonalds, to releasing his latest music video in IMAX theaters Scott has been breaking the mold and shattering expectations. Each Travis Scott event is a lightning strike in the collective consciousness of the culture.

 After several collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand, Travis Scott is bridging the gap once again. In a whirlwind move leading up to the launch of the PlayStation 5, Sony has announced Travis Scott’s new position with the Playstation team and with it a surprise new collaboration. Nike and PlayStation have collaborated a few times before but with Travis Scott’s new position as one of PlayStation’s ‘strategic creative partners’ this is surely bringing them into a new and noteworthy world.

 In a video announcing the decision, Travis can be seen in a pair of white and grey Nike SB Dunk lows with his signature reverse swoosh on the lateral side as well as the PS logo near the heel. While the Paul George collaborations have been collectors gems and the PlayStation Air Forces are the stuff of legend with one of the world’s most popular entertainers on board this is sure to catapult this collaboration into the ionosphere. 

Will these shoes ever see the light of day? Surely more information will come forth as we near the PlayStation 5’s November release date.

Reebok Dials Up The Ghostbusters For This Halloween Collab

Reebok Dials Up The Ghostbusters For This Halloween Collab

Featured

by | Oct 24, 2020 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

When Egon uttered the quintessential phrase “don’t cross the streams” in the 1984 classsic Ghostbusters, he didn’t have this Reebok collaboration in mind. Sony Pictures and Reebok have combined their collective Ecto devices and have squarely targeted those with a love for Halloween and a certain Ray Parker Jr. earworm of a theme song. 

With a bit of ghostly enhancement Reebok has revived the Classic Leathers and the Alienstomper, aptly renamed the Ghostsmashers. The highly detailed kicks are a show of love for the iconic film series as the Classic Leathers pay homage to the team’s jumpsuits, enfolding the khaki colorway onto the time-honored silhouette. The shoe goes above and beyond with the spin on the Reebok branding, which has been altered to match the style of the name patches emblazoned on our heroes’ workwear. Ghostbusters branding on the tongue, the caution tape style strip on the back of the midsole, and a hint of glowing green ectoplasm on the outsole of the shoe really make you feel like you’re fighting the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man alongside the team. The Classic Leather is topped off with “Ready to Believe You” text across the heel. 

The Ghostsmashers are a must-have for every ghost-hunting arsenal. The dynamic retooling of the Ripley’s footwear from Alien takes an already bombastic silhouette and turns it up several notches. The Ghostsmasher takes direct inspiration from the Ghostbusters weapon of choice, the Proton Pack. The shoe even features Reebok Pump technology directed through a green cylinder that mirrors the one found mounted on the Ghostbusters’ weapons. These shoes are ready to send some ghosts back to their final resting place.

This pack is set to release on October 31 through Reebok.com

Kicks Through the Lens (Last Week of Playoffs)

Kicks Through the Lens (Last Week of Playoffs)

JOB FINISHED. One year ago, after not making the playoffs, LeBron James made a promise to Laker Nation that the title drought would not last much longer. On Sunday night, James delivered on that promise. LeBron won his 4th ring with his third franchise, and Anthony Davis got his 1st ring as well. You can say what you want about The Bubble, or the time off that may have helped players, or even certain matchups we didn’t get to see. One thing you can’t argue with or take away is Championships.

 

LeBron James finally broke out some new XVIII colorways in this past week. LBJ wore a bright orange iteration as well as a Laker-themed color scheme. Anthony Davis capped off the season with some more Kobe 5 Protro heat, one coming in the form of a custom. Quinn Cook found himself in the mix rocking some old school Reebok favorites. Is the Nike Kobe 5 Protro the shoe of the year in terms of on-court selection? Scroll below to check out our last list from the 2019-20 NBA season.

When an NBA Finals features LeBron James as well as the team that Kobe Bryant (R.I.P.) played for, you know you can expect most of the countdown to consist of Nike LeBrons and Kobes. Anthony Davis catapulted himself into the Kobe 5 Protro spotloight this past week. The Laker forward donned new colorways of the Mamba’s fifth signature sneaker, one in particular that could very well rival Iguodala’s pair from last week’s list. We haven’t seen a custom sneaker make our Kicks Through the Lens in quite some time, but a Miami Heat player changed that while sporting an eye-catching iteration of the Nike Zoom Freak 2’s. LeBron James stays steady in his rotation, sticking with either the 17’s or 7’s once again. Will we see him rock a pair of his new 18’s during these Finals, or will he save his new model for the 2020-21 season?

 

The Miami Heat made this series interesting on Sunday night, making the bout a 2-1 advantage Lakers. Jimmy Butler truly showed why he is one of the top players in the entire league. Anthony Davis was in foul trouble throughout Game 3 and L.A.’s offense was lackluster at best. Young players such as Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson of the Miami Heat are showing just how valuable shooting is in today’s NBA. Tonight’s Game 4 holds huge implications as Los Angeles can go up 3-1 or Miami can even things at two games a piece.
