Get Your Spring Look Ready With Reebok
We just got into the month of February and Spring is just around the corner. Is your closet ready? If not no worries. Reebok Classics had you covered. Reebok Classic recently released the Spring/Summer 2016 collection of the dual gender Furylite, a bold, stylish sneaker fusing stand-out fashion with technologically advanced architectural features. The dynamic new campaign, ‘Free Your Fury’ shot by Warwick Saint, tells a story of freedom and escape while showcasing the shoe’s fashion credentials by pairing it with a series of upscale yet wearable looks.
Inspired by daring adventures and escaping normality to uncover limitless potential, the campaign is an expression of Reebok’s fierce, fearless attitude. Epic landscapes, striking skies and tropical backdrops provide the environment against which powerful fashion looks, striking poses and a theme of movement celebrate the new collection.
One of Reebok Classic’s most fashion forward styles, the Furylite’s architectural, molded details are juxtaposed by a sleek silhouette and finished with premium materials and on-trend colors. For SS16, monochrome styles provide a chic and stylized look while multi-color executions offer a powerful, tropical feel. The design ingenuity and fashion versatility of the shoe are brought to life through styling with some key fashion looks for SS16, showing that the Furylite can be paired with any look.
A dual gender sneaker with subtle design cues taken from the iconic Reebok Instapump Fury, the slimline Furylite features a molded quarter panel, unique open side panel cutout for breathability, easy on/off lacing construction, and added comfort through Ortholite sockliner and 3D Ultralite bottom foam. The SS16 Furylite range has been designed to offer something for everyone, through a truly thought-out color selection and material application. An intricate custom jacquard upper is specifically designed for the men’s rendition, while a clean and classic woven pattern features on the women’s sneaker, adding visual interest to the otherwise minimalistic design. The Furylite arrives in SS16 with another season of eye-catching sneakers that deliver on both style and substance.
The Furylite Spring Summer 2016 collection retails for $75 on February 1, 2016. Women’s Furylite styles will be available at retailers including Reebok.com, Urban Outfitters, Lady Foot Locker, Finish Line and East Bay. Men’s Furylite styles will be available at retailers including Reebok.com, Finish Line, East Bay, Urban Outfitters, Packer Shoes, Jack Threads and Sneaker Villa.

The Right Valentine’s Day Gift For Guys
Hey ladies, I know we might say finding the right gift for you on Valentine’s Day is tough. To be fair it is not all that simple for you getting the perfect gift for us. So with that romantic day not too far away I am going to help you out with a very cool whisky guide.
If you have been dating for less than six months you can’t go wrong with picking up either the George Dickel No. 12 Tennessee Whisky or the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye. The George Dickel Tennessee Whisky is known for their signature chill charcoal mellowing which makes it the smoothest sipping whisky around. Recently crowned the 2016 World Whisky of the Year by Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye is meant for the loved ones you think are world-class.
If you are dating for a bit longer like six months to a year the I.W. Harper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey or Bulleit Bourbon is a great choice. After 20 years abroad, I.W. Harper Kentucky Straight Bourbon has come home to the U.S. to satisfy significant others struck with wanderlust. Bulleit is a staple, whether included in a Hot Toddy, Old Fashioned, or enjoyed neat or on the rocks. It’s a must-have in any liquor cabinet.
If you are in a long term relationship you might want to go for the Orphan Barrel’s Rhetoric 21-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Progressively aged with hints of baked caramel and cinnamon, Rhetoric 21 is part of the Orphan Barrel Project where nearly forgotten whiskeys are resurrected from the depths of distilleries. There’s no doubt he will geek out over this fact.
You can also wow him with either the Blade & Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey or Crown Royal XR LaSalle. Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited release whiskey that pays homage to the artful passion and renowned craftsmanship of the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery and winner of the coveted double gold medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
The second addition to the Crown Royal Extra Rare Whisky Series is an exquisite blend crafted to include a small reserve of the final batch of whiskies that were saved from the renowned LaSalle Distillery. A special blend to elevate any romantic evening!

Reebok Has The Prototype For A Fantastic Classic
2016 marks the official 20 year anniversary since Reebok and Allen Iverson first teamed up to release what has become one of the most iconic, on-court basketball sneakers of all time: The Question Mid.
To celebrate this incredible milestone, there will be 20 unique launches of the Question Mid throughout 2016 to commemorate Allen Iverson and the undeniable cultural impact he has had on basketball as well as culture in general.
Even before he stepped foot onto a professional basketball court, Reebok knew there would never be another Allen Iverson. Determined to sign the once-in-a-lifetime player, Reebok actually designed a version of Allen’s first signature shoe while he was still in college. It was called The Prototype, and it was the first canvas upon which Reebok first dreamed “what-if”.
Allen never wore the Prototype on court, but the shoe had only minor changes to the design before it became the first version of the Question Mid. The hi-cut Prototype features Reebok’s revolutionary Hexalite technology and unique “?” branding on the back tab, which represents all the questions surrounding his career and whether Allen would eventually go pro. Of course, Allen Iverson being the “Answer” to the “Question” showed all his critics wrong.
The Reebok Question “Prototype” will be available on Friday, February 5th for $200 at Reebok.com, Packer Shoes and Concepts.
