To drum up buzz around the impending release of the new film, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” on Nov. 19, the athleticwear brand has announced the launch of a capsule collection of kicks and other movie-themed merch for the whole family.
The Instapump Fury, which retails for $200, was created with a psychoreactive slime from Ghostbusters II in mind, Reebok said.
The Answer IV celebrates the franchise’s Terror Dogs through hidden details like red eyelets (to represent the canines’ glowing eyes) as well as a nubuck and cracked leather upper.
The Zig Kinetica, available for all ages, takes on a more modern aesthetic as it was inspired by one of the upcoming film’s never-before-seen characters. Made to embody the spirit—pun intended—of a ghost named Muncher, the translucent upper glows in the dark, and features silver details representing snacks that the poltergeist prefers.
The shoe is available in two color ways for adults.
Zig Kinetica Kids, which feature a plump group of marshmallow-shaped ghosts dubbed the Mini-Pufts on a white, black and red upper.
“Similarly to the debut collection, this silhouette draws inspiration from National Geographic’s riveting visual storytelling from around the world,” the brand said in a statement, noting that the Nano X1 Vegan release was inspired by sea ice from the area between Canada and Greenland, featuring a sockliner patterned with berries, moss and foliage from the cold, blustery landscape.
With utilitarian styling, the shoe features an abrasion-resistant toe, TPU heel cap, neoprene collar and speed lacing system.
Marking its second collaboration with the monthly nature-focused publication, Reebok announced the release of a new version of its Nano X1 sneaker in a vegan fabrication on Tuesday.
The Oct. 22 drop will follow a previous line released in September, which was made up of performance, lifestyle and kids’ silhouettes.
According to the Boston-based brand, the plant-based trainer is Reebok’s most versatile performance shoe, crafted with a durable Flexweave knit upper with integrated support to hold foot steady during quick, lateral movements.
The shoe will be available on Reebok.com in adult sizes for $130.
A second drop taking place later this fall, the Ray Eames Signature Pack, will feature the Club C in two new versions inspired by Eames’ 1939 Composition painting and a dot pattern textile print created in 1947.
Reebok has slated an altogether different kind of drop for Oct. 15, honoring the artistic legacy of two of the 20th century’s great furniture designers and architects, Charles and Ray Eames.
Through an exclusive collaboration with the late talents’ firm, Eames Office, Reebok has created the Eames Club C Monotone Pack, inspired by their contributions to American design.
“Known for their ground-breaking furniture creations for Herman Miller and Vitra, the husband-and-wife team redefined post-war American design and shaped the 20th century with their playful yet purposeful sensibility,” Reebok said in a statement.
The Reebok x Eames Club C black and white Monotone Pack ($120) was made for everyday wear, in two ultra-accessible color ways that pair with any outfit.
