 Orchard Street Footwear for Reebok

As previously mentioned, the Orchard Street collection for is now ready to be revealed.  Here we have the the Re-Up, which was first seen back in December, and the Pump Omni Hexride.  Both shoes have black uppers with bright accent colors to match the apparel in conjunction with this release.  The OS crew’s choice of footwear is quite interesting- both styles definitely not the norm for Reebok consumers, but also because each style juxtaposes each other in aesthetics and feel to be in the same collection.  Nonetheless, it’s quite refreshing to new styles getting the collab treatment, contrary to the staple Reebok Pumps.  Both pairs are now available at Orchard Street.

Orchard Street Apparel for Reebok

Back in December we gave you a small sample of Orchard Street‘s designs for Reebok in the form of a Re-Up Lux.  As we promised, we’re now providing a detailed look into the apparel part of the collection.  Consisting of three tshirts, a pullover hoody, windbreaker, Orchard Street’s concept was to  create a genuine old school New York vibe reflecting upon heavy influence of the basketball lifestyle.  This is easily observed in the giant branding on some of the apparel as well as basketball imagery seen on the graphic tees, including Dee Brown who wore the Omni Pump Lite, predecessor to the Hexride.  Each piece is perfectly colored to fit the scheme of the entire collection, making it easy to match with the footwear.  With much anticipation, these items are now available at Orchard Street.
