Introducing The Ventilator “Heritage” Pack From Reebok Classic
Reebok continues to spin fresh iterations of the Ventilator with the “Heritage” pack this fall. Inspired by old industrial spaces, the bright pops of color make this shoe anything but ordinary.

The first Reebok lightweight runner with a focus on breathability, the Ventilator was a bold, expressive silhouette that was years ahead of its time. Today the Reebok Ventilator remains an extremely versatile, one-of-a-kind sneaker, with the chameleon-like ability to take both clean and bold executions.

Reebok Helps UFC Champ Anthony Pettis Turn On “The ZJET “
On Thursday, July 17th, UFC Lightweight Champion and Reebok athlete, Anthony Pettis took a select group through an intense speed and agility workout, modeled after his own dry land training along the East River bike path in NYC.
As Anthony is prepping to defend his title in December, he understands how important raw, explosive speed can be, which is why he’s been training in the brand new Reebok ZJET. Like the way the jet engine blast is created by moving air from high to low-pressure compartments, the new ZJET enhances your running by moving trapped air in an underfoot current for maximum cushioning. Paired with extreme flexibility and Nanoweb upper construction for stability, the ZJET is the ultimate in maximum cushioning providing unsurpassed comfort and quickness so you can jet up or down the open road.
Reebok ZJET is now available at Finish Line and Reebok.com, and retails for $130.

NBA Legends Hangout Out At Reebok Camp
The Reebok Classic Breakout tipped off at Philadelphia University yesterday on Wednesday, July 10th as over one hundred of the best high school basketball athletes were given the opportunity to play in front of hundreds of Division I college coaches during the NCAA live period.
The Reebok Classic Breakout is unique in that it is the only live period camp that gives any player the opportunity to earn an invitation purely through his performance at the eleven Reebok Classic Open Runs that took place across the country throughout the spring. These players now get the chance to let their game make their name as they compete against some of the more established players that are already ranked in the top 100 and are future All-Americans.
This year Reebok hosted a special Classic Rap roundtable on one of the basketball courts. On hand were Sway Calloway (from MTV and “Sway in the Morning” fame) who moderated an exclusive panel featuring NBA legends Shaquille O’Neal (in the Shaq Attaq IV), Shawn Kemp (in the Kamikaze II Low), and Dominique Wilkins (in the Twilight Zone Pump), along with current players Isaiah Thomas (in the Kamikaze II Low) and Gerald Green (in the Blast). Rounding out the group were friends of the Reebok brand including Jadakiss (in the Question Mid), DJ Drama (in the Blast) and Lil Duval (in the GL 6000).
In front of a large crowd, the group discussed the importance of having events like the Reebok Breakout Camp to help nurture and support the next generation of basketball players and how essential it is to have drive, commitment and resolve to persevere in their passion for the game. The NBA legends and current players also recounted their personal histories and challenges coming up in the industry and offered tips and guidance to the high school athletes on site.
Reebok also took the opportunity to showcase the Shaq Attaq IV model seen on the feet of Shaq and Sway at the event. Originally released in 1994, the Shaq Attaq IV was seen on the feet of dominant big man Shaquille O’Neal during the 1994-1995 season in which he won a scoring title, and appeared in the All-Star Game in Phoenix as well as NBA Finals against Houston. A game changer on the court, the Shaq Attaq IV also made history as the first basketball shoe to ever feature Insta Pump technology.
Twenty years after its initial release, limited pairs of the black/white/blue Shaq Attaq IV are set to hit shelves on Friday, July 25th at key retailers Jimmy Jazz, Shiekh, Villa, Shoe City and Eblens for $140

Boston Streetballers Win Big At The Biv20 Basketball Classic
Yesterday the best and toughest streetballers from Boston and NYC competed on the blacktop in the 7th annual Biv20K Blacktop Classic, a rematch between the two cities from last year’s championship game. The outdoor battle took place at the legendary courts of Ramsay Park in Boston.
Michael “Biv” Bivins (of legendary groups New Edition and Bell Biv Devoe) grew up playing outdoor basketball on the courts of Boston and created this tournament to bring “one day of peace and positivity in the hood.” The tournament remains one of the most revered local community basketball events in the Boston area.
The tournament consisted of three different games for 14 and under at 5pm, the Legends at 6pm and the 7pm rematch of the Boston Streetballers and Entertainers Basketball Classic (NY) team. The Boston team started strong by winning the 14 and under game, while NY came back strong by winning the Legends game at 6pm.
However, with the hometown advantage, the Boston Streetballers team won the last championship game and won the $20K prize, donated by Reebok Basketball.
All teams played in Reebok Basketball apparel as well as shoes from the recently launched Blacktop Retaliate collections (available at Reebok.com for $125) specifically designed for the competitive and aggressive style of play outdoors.
