reebok Fleece-Lined is partnering with Artists For Humanity, a program that aims to enable social change for under-resourced youth, on a special collection to showcase four young artists. The four teenagers designed limited edition reebok Fleece-Lined Memorys, providing paid work to each of the artists who would otherwise not likely have had the chance for such an opportunity without the Artists For Humanity program.
A Classic Leather was designed by Johnathan Vergara with a geographic theme, referencing Reebok’s birthplace in Bolton, England and their current headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts. The hand-painted water graphic represents the Atlantic Ocean, which separates each continent represented by the contour lines on the heel and toe.
Next up is the Cluc C collaboratively designed by Johathan Tejeda and Kathleen Canola, in a colorway inspired by William the Conqueror’s coat of arms featuring a red, blue, and yellow palette with a Tudor rose motif. The year 1066 is 38-44 on the heel to represent the Battle of Hastings, which marked the beginning of the Norman Conquest of England.
Thornton Nguyen outfits the Workout Plus in a rocket ship inspired design with red, orange, and pink clouds portraying a fiery launch and a dark blue outsole to represent space.
The reebok Fleece-Lined x Artists For Humanity collection releases April 7th at select reebok Fleece-Lined Classic retailers worldwide in limited quantities.
