Reebok x OBEY Join Forces for Expressive New Streetwear Collection, Available December 4
(BOSTON) November 19, 2024 – Today, Reebok, the iconic and irreverent sports culture brand, partnered with renowned streetwear label OBEY to debut a new collection. This collaboration brings together two heritage brands known for challenging the status quo, delivering a range of footwear and apparel with an updated perspective on both classic and modern sports silhouettes. The OBEY x Reebok collection is available globally from Reebok.com and select retailers beginning December 4 at 10 AM EST.
OBEY is a streetwear brand founded by artist and activist Shepard Fairey in 2001, evolving from his “Obey Giant” art campaign in the late 1980s. Known for bold graphics and political messaging, OBEY blends street fashion with social commentary, drawing inspiration from Fairey’s activism and art background. OBEY’s focus on self-expression and community aligns with Reebok’s values, creating an organic collaboration that extends both brands’ influence beyond fashion.
“Artistically, Reebok’s classic silhouettes provide an ideal canvas for OBEY’s design perspective and graphic language”, commented Steve Ternosky, CEO of OBEY. “The end result is a true collaborative effort. Bringing the strengths and perspectives of both brands to build something new. We looked to take a thoughtful approach in updating timeless styles in a way that feels relevant and honors the legacy and deep cultural impact of our brands. We’re about variety and experience, encouraging individuals to reflect on their surroundings and question their purpose – the medium is the message.’”
The collection fuses iconic Reebok styles with OBEY’s bold design aesthetic, resulting in an offering that’s both a nod to the past and an exciting step forward. The shared ethos of challenging conventions and embracing rebellious creativity is integrated into every piece, offering streetwear enthusiasts considerate designs that merge fashion with function, including:
