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.

Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen Create The Bud Light Party
There are so many political ads and fake promises to make us all sick. We are getting tired of both the Republican and Democratic parties. How about a new party to believe in? The Bud Light Party steps onto the national stage today with a mission to unite modern beer drinkers. The new campaign from America’s most inclusive beer brand will celebrate bringing people together – for fun – over a beer. The Bud Light Party is the first campaign to bring to life Bud Light’s new “Raise One to Right Now” tagline, designed to provide a unique and light-hearted Bud Light perspective on timely cultural moments – starting with Super Bowl 50.
Right now there is nothing more timely or talked about than the presidential election. At a time when debates get heated and “unfriending” is at an all-time high, The Bud Light Party offers something everyone can agree on. A party that invites everyone. A party that knows how to party. A party that isn’t a political party at all.
Leading this humor-based campaign is comedic duo Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen – the faces of The Bud Light Party. Starting with a Super Bowl ad and continuing in national broadcast and digital creative throughout the year, Schumer and Rogen will rally beer drinkers to put their differences aside and agree to agree on Bud Light.

Celebrate Beer Can Appreciation Day This Sunday With Guinness
This Sunday is National Beer Can Appreciation Day. So why not celebrate with an iconic beer brand? In 1988, Guinness Draught launched in a can, using a revolutionary widget to recreate the famous creamy surge seen when Guinness is served from a tap. The widget won the Queen’s award for technological achievement in 1991.
Since its inception, Guinness has always been a brand at the forefront of innovation from inventing nitrogenation more than 50 years ago to introducing the widget perfecting Guinness Draught in a can to the launch of Guinness Blonde American Lager last year, and now Guinness Nitro IPA. Nitrogenation is a trend gaining steam in the American beer industry, which is something Guinness pioneered more than 50 years ago.
