Reebok Teams Up With Hall of Fame To Remake A Classic
Over the years Reebok has teamed up with artists and companies to create a new take on their classic sneakers. Now Hall of Fame is the next brand to collaborate with Reebok to help celebrate the Year of the Question, with their very own 20th anniversary edition of the legendary Allen Iverson signature shoe. Like many of the other collaborators throughout the Question’s big year, the Los Angeles-based sportswear label looks to an important piece of Iverson’s history and style on and off the court for inspiration for their colorway. In this case, Hall of Fame highlights one of AI’s most iconic style statements: his cornrows.
The shoe is constructed in a premium black nubuck upper with woven paneling referencing his braids, all in a deconstructed design with the usual padding removed to create a sleeker, lifestyle-minded silhouette. Further refinements to the Question by Hall of Fame include leather utilized for the lace gillies, inner lining, and sockliner, along with embossed leather branding throughout. Every pair will also come with multiple lace options in Philly’s alternate uniform colors.
The Hall of Fame x Reebok Question Mid launches at Hall of Fame’s LA store and on HallofFameLTD.com this week, and on Reebok.com and select Reebok Classic retailers this Friday, November 11th.

Former Indy Car Driver Alex Lloyd Talks Racing And More
Alex Lloyd made a name for himself as an Indycar Driver and now he can help share some fantastic information about the process of buying or selling a car, what to watch out for, how to avoid losing out on a deal with a company called Beepi. Beepi feels that people are at the heart of everything they do. It all started with one person – therr CEO, Ale Resnik – and his horrible car buying experience. After doing a ton of research and test driving a certified pre-owned car, he bought the car only to have it catch fire days later. Ale met Owen Savir, both serial entrepreneurs obsessed with breaking down complex problems, and together they vowed no one should ever have that bad experience again. They resolved to reinvent the entire way people buy, sell and own cars. Beepi was born.
For Alex he loves cars and was looking for the next career after racing. Lloyd says that, “There’s no question racing was a fun portion of my life. But I’m most excited about this next stage—disrupting an entire industry, putting the customer first, and making life simpler. I’m moving my entire family out west—a small village, if you will, consisting of my wife, four children and our five animals. I’m doing this because I truly believe in that future.”
For more on Alex follow him on Twitter at @alex_lloyd and go to Beepi’s website on how they can help you purchase or sell a car.

Reebok And JJ Watt Honor The Troops
J.J. Watt’s signature shoe the JJ I is going to get the military treatment in the latest colorway. Even better than being a great shoe to work out in, it is going to help veterans. The JJ I is inspired by J.J.’s appreciation for our servicemen and women, the Military Edition of the ultimate training shoe is created to inspire others to show their support at this time of year.
The JJ I Military Edition also leads the proud partnership between Reebok and the Boot Campaign, which raises awareness of the unique challenges that service members face during and post service (www.bootcampaign.org). The multi-channel marketing push for the JJ I Military Edition features the Boot Campaign throughout, spreading the word for a cause close to the hearts of J.J. and Reebok.
In J.J.’s words: “We as athletes are often the subject of headlines and highlights, when in fact it is the men and women of our military who truly deserve the adoration and praise. I chase a ball around a field for a living. These men and women lay their lives on the line to secure and protect our freedom. They are real American heroes. The JJ I Military Edition was inspired by them and serves as a daily reminder to take advantage of every opportunity this great country has to offer thanks to these men and women. Reebok and I are very proud to support The Boot Campaign and all of the men and women who are so deserving of our respect.”
As well as featuring all the technology that makes the JJ I the ultimate training shoe, the new colorway pays homage to J.J.’s appreciation for our troops with subtle sandstone, brown, and tan colors along with a camouflage outsole and bottom.
Reebok has a longstanding and year-round support for the military. The global fitness brand offers 20% off all product to military, veterans, first responders, and their families throughout the year.
The new JJ I Military Edition will be available on November 11 for $99 at Reebok.com

Budweiser Pays Tribute To Harry Caray
Chicago Cubs fans can rejoice! They just saw their team win the World Series. To celebrate long time Major League Baseball sponsor Budweiser pays tribute to legendary sportscaster and Cubs play-by-play man Harry Caray for Cubs fans everywhere.
The ultimate Cubs fan (and Bud man) Caray dreamed of the day his beloved Cubs would win the World Series but of course never got to call the final out for a Cubs Series win. Until now. The new video was made a reality by Budweiser working with the Caray family estate to get Caray’s actual audio/voice and then lay it over with footage from last night’s win in Cleveland and celebration here in Chicago. The result should give any Cubs and Caray fan goose bumps hearing Harry call the Series as if he was still here with us on earth.

Have You Seen The Earliest Show Yet?
There are a ton of morning shows out there, but there is a new show on TV that you should be watching. To be honest it is not like a typical morning show you see on the major networks. It is actually a spoof on these shows. It is being driven by Cap’n Crunch. The cereal brand is reinventing itself by tapping into the very spirit of the brand with innovative partnerships, content and collaborative programming that caters to the “man child.”
For its first act, the brand has partnered with Funny Or Die to co-produce a spoofy talk-show style digital series, “The Earliest Show” co-hosted by comedians Ben Schwartz (Parks and Rec and House of Lies) and Lauren Lapkus (Orange is the New Black). “The Earliest Show” pays tribute to the classic morning talk show with a twist; it’s happening in the middle of the night.

Reebok Brings A Whole New Dress Code To Sneakers
There are a few true real trend setters. I am talking about the ones who change the way we look at things. Allen Iverson will always be known for single-handedly bringing hip-hop fashion sense and street cred to basketball. You never saw braids, tattoos, and baggy clothing until AI showed up in the late-90s, and his style would forever change the game – just like his play on the court.
Reebok continues its Year of the Question for 2016 with another special edition of Allen Iverson’s first signature shoe. The Question Mid “Dress Code” features colors and materials pulled from AI’s iconic tastes, specifically blue denim and tan nubuck inspired by his baggy jeans and workboots. Further details include brown leather, white mesh interiors, gum outsoles, and “banned” symbols on each heel.
The Reebok Classic Question Mid “Dress Code” releases Friday, November 4th for $139.99 at Reebok.com and select retailers including Finish Line, Footaction and Champs Sports.
