Scarlett Johanson love$ Reebok

Reebok just got a whole lot more interesting. Scarlett Johanson has reportedly struck a deal with Reebok to design, model and endorse her own footwear range. The range will be known as Scarlett Hearts Rbk. Forbes reports:

"Amy Schaeffer, Reebok's vice president of lifestyle design, claimed the starlet had taken a very active role in creating the "Scarlett 'Hearts' Rbk" line from the initial concept. Johansson has apparently sat through several product and design meetings with Reebok, including a three-hour session Monday prior to her visit yesterday to its headquarters.

"We've shown her sketches throughout the design process," said Schaeffer. "She has a very strong opinion and vision," she added.

The collection of athletic-inspired pieces will apparently draw on influences from the '70s and '80s. Analysts consider the multiyear deal an attempt to rekindle department store interest in the Reebok brand and reconnect with female customers who built the company into a top athletic footwear empire during the aerobics-nutty 1980s."

Girls Air Max 90 white / pink / grey

Will we ever get bored of this shoe?

No! I hear you all scream. The Nike Air Max 90 is probably my favourite Air Max of all time. Aside from all the specials and limited edition releases of late, it's nice to a general release with a fresh colourway. This white / pink / grey Nike Air Max 90 is available now from Sport-E. If you are a lady with feet size 3-8 and £84.99 to spare, I recommend you check these trainers out.

Nike Air Tech Challenge Petition

Further to my previous post on the legacy of the Nike Air Tech Challenge "Childhood Sneaker Dreams: Nike Air Tech Challenge 3/4 aka Air Agassi", I am pleased to spread the following words...

The nice people at Kick-Fiend are petitioning Nike to re-release this much-loved and well-missed sneaker. To sign the petition, click here.

Nike Air Max Point 5 Preview

Coming soon to JD Sports is the Nike Air Max Point 5. These trainers are a brand new release, but they are steeped in Air Max history - like the hybrid offspring of a a Nike Air Max orgy. The Nike Air Max Point 5 has inherited the Air System from the Air Max ST, the lacing and upper design from the classic Air Max 90, and the sneaker's sole unit has been modelled on the Nike BW. No release date as yet, but the Nike Air Max Point 5 is set to drop soon at £69.99, very reasonable for an Air Max.

Half price Ice Cream? My girlfriend will be happy.

The Reebok Ice Cream Collection is now half price at Kitbag, down from £149.99 to £74.99 - to view them click here

For those of you that have been sleeping, Ice Cream is a collaboration between the multifaceted Pharell Williams and the, er, multifaceted Reebok. The Ice Cream Reebok collection certainly aren't your run of the mill trainers, and I am equally as impressed by the sneakers' packaging as the shoes themselves. The Dice Flavour model is available in the white / red colourway shown above, black / green / yellow and white / green. Also available at this great price is the Beeper model, shown below in black / red / grey below, and also available in grey / green / blue.



The Ice Cream collection is a very limited edition run, and each sneaker has a limited edition number printed on the underside of the tongue. Each pair of trainers comes pacakged with two sets of laces and a flavoured shoe-horn. A great conversation piece, or a great investment. I'll have 2 scoops. Get yours

Reebok Pump Causeway

As is well known, Reebok are not strangers to the idea of inflating trainers & sneakers. The 'Reebok Pump' technology was first introuduced in 1989, allowing wearers to inflate internal air pockets via a pump (usually found on the tongue). Though the technology was used in a wide variety of Reebok models, it was rather gimmicky and faded away promptly - last seen on the retro Reebok reissues of the past couple of years.

The latest development in the Reebok Pump Saga is the brand new Reebok Pump Causeway. The Reebok Pump Causeway differs from previous Reebok Pump technology by introducing an element of artificial intelligence. The Reebok Causeway will inflate itself and adjust your level of comfort depending on your 'performance needs', typically judging the correct inflation within 5 steps. The Pump Auto/Off Smart Valve allows you to choose between auto engagement of the system, or simply turning it off. The Reebok Pump Causeway is an easy-on/off slip-on, with a removable sockliner.


The Reebok Pump Causeway is currently available to pre-order in the white / navy / silver colourway shown above right and the red / shark colourway shown right from the Reebok Store. It is also available to pre order from JD Sports in the black / silver colourway shown above left.

All at £79.99.

World Cup Final Special: France vs Italy

Who would have thought, France, Italy, World Cup Final? It's going to be interesting. Hey, at least it's not Portugal! Whilst you mourn England's departure and continue to despise Ronaldo, why not bag a piece of World Cup history? Perfect for glory-hunting wanabees ("I always said France would do it"), or a sound investment for the future - in a few years time, these products will be very valuable to the French or the Italians, depending on who is the victor (I'm gonna go with France).

The Adidas Originals range has been nothing but good quality, well designed & individaul releases - a cut above standard high street fare. The Adidas Originals France Track Top (above) is another great item, and it's now half price at JD Sports (£24.99) - a real bargain. If you are going to wear it rather than keep it for prosperity, trainer-wise I would suggest teaming it (pun intended) with the Men's Adidas Gazelle II in the red / white colourway (right) - themselves a long standing favourite of football terraces worldwide.


If you want to get behind Italy, you're also in luck. The Adidas Originals Italy Track Top (left) is another bargain, again at half price (£24.99). For trainers, I would pair this jacket up with Men's Adidas Stan Smith II white / green (below). Though the Stan Smith was originally a tennis shoe, it's been very popular with footie fans everywhere. The green sole and tongue detail will subtley accentuate the green of the Il Tricolore on the jacket.


Whoever wins, you are sure to look fresh.

Womens Trainers: Ladies Nike NME / Nike NME Mid Sneakers

Hey Ladies! The Womens Nike NME & NME Mid are brand new sneakers from Nike. The Low version is available in the attention-grabbing white / blue colourway shown left, and the Mid version in the equally beautiful white / pink colourway shown below right. I think lots of guys will be trying (successfully) to get away with the white / blue shoe as it looks great. In my opinion it is a unisex colourway. Hell, I'm sure some guys will rock the pink too... It's a Nike not a heel!


The womens Nike NME trainers are very lightweight, with a leather and canvas upper. For a new design (as opposed to a reissue), the NME is suprisingly dope. Well done Nike! Both models are available from the online shoe store Schuh, at £44.99 for the low, and £49.99 for the mid. Click on the links above to view the offers. Sizes range from (UK) 3 - 8 in both models. Personally, I would have loved to have seen the mid in the blue / white colourway too.

K-Swiss Kallin Stripe Shifter

Whilst it's hardly an industry-changing innovation like Nike Air, K-Swiss' 'Stripe Shifter' feature (allowing you to select which colour stripes you display) is still a nice little bonus, and a fun way of customising your trainers & sneakers. The K-Swiss Kallin Stripe Shifter is available in the black / red / light grey colourway featured right, and also white / navy / light grey, white / light grey / charcoal, white /navy / sky & white /red / black shown below right. All colourways are available at JD Sports at £59.99. Trainer / Clothing co-ordination has never been so easy.

Childhood Sneaker Dreams: Nike Air Tech Challenge 3/4 aka Air Agassi

Nike launched the Andre Agassi signature Air Tech Challenge (or Air Agassi as it was known) midst Agassi mania in 1990. I was eight years old, and it was too much for my infant brain to cope with. I wanted this shoe so much... I don't really know why i felt so strongly about it. In hindsight, it's really a quite revolting colourway and shape-wise it's far from beautiful... But this shoe was something special, and the fact that I never got to wear it still haunts me to this day.


One kid at my school had a pair and I hated him for it... They were just so damn fresh... The only trainers in the entire playground that could be seen from a mile away. My favourite part of the shoe was the spherical (tennis ball) logo on the rear of the heel... wow. My parents refused to buy them for me, I can't blame them, i remember them being expensive, even for a kids' shoe in 1990. But who knows, had I got them, maybe I would have got into tennis like the man Andre Agassi... I could've been more British than Greg Rusedski, and just plain better than Tim Henman... England, it's your loss.


Andre Agassi is the only player to have made me ever take an interest in tennis (um, him and Kournikova). I think it may have been the hair as much as the shoes.

Agassi won Wimbledon in 1992 against Goran Ivanišević, his last major title was the Australian Open in 2005. After divorcing Brooke Shields in 1999, Agassi married follow tennis player Steffi Graf in 2001. She never had her own shoe, and even if she had, it could never have hoped to have been even half as dope as her husband's Nike Air Tech Challenge.

Nike: Please reissue this shoe... please, please, please...

Puma Pele Brazil Amazon / Gold / Blue

Puma are celebrating Germany 2006 and the legend of Pele (try to forget the erectile dysfunction adverts) by re-releasing his signature 1972 model - the Pele Brazil.

New Balance 1500 Chocolate / Black / White

More super-freshness from New Balance... The 1500 in chocolate brown / black / white has to be a future purchase. It's not so easy to buy good New Balance online, but Frontier seem to do provide the best range right now.

New Balance 1500 Black / White / Red

The 1500 is definitely my favourite New Balance model - i feel the 'N' logo works better more understated... as it appears here. I'm currently rocking this black / white / red colourway a lot at the moment. New Balance make great quality, super comfortable, beautiful trainers... and -best of all- whilst their contemporaries continue to court controversial sweat shop labour, New Balance continue to run production at their Flimby, Cumbria (England) factory. God save the queen.
