Reebok Kamikaze III x Swizz Beatz Spring 2012

Swizz has been on top of his game as the Global Creative Director of Reebok. In our interview, Swizz mentioned that he has already finished the capsules for 2012. Well it looks like bits and pieces of these are starting to leak out with the three colorways seen here being the first bits. For the first two, Swizz has gone with brighter tones like turquoise, fire-red, and bright blue, while the third pair is a little more reserved with an olive and evergreen color-up. - Via kicksonfire.com

VERBAL Named Reebok Classics Asia Creative Director

In an interesting announcement, Tokyo designer Verbal, best known for his brand Ambush and musical involvements, has been named creative director of Reebok Classics Asia. He joins global creative director Swizz Beatz, who has already started in his new role and released the Kamikaze sneaker as part of the project. The results of Verbal’s involvement should be interesting.

Reebok Kamikaze III Steel/Feather Blue

In our interview with Swizz Beatz, Mr. Showtime himself made it clear that he has big plans for Reebok that stretch far beyond the world of the Kamikaze III. Until those plans come to fruition, Reebok and Swizzy are putting a lot of effort into the Kamikaze. We have seen several colorways of the iconic sneaker already, including the all black model that will drop at select locations tomorrow, but here we see a Steel/Feather Blue model that strikes a different chord.

The model mixes tumbled leather and mesh on the steel colored upper and keeps the midsole white. Reebok remains strong behind their HexALite brand and includes visible feather blue panels on the medial and lateral side. Like the other Kamikazes we have seen, the model features patent leather at the toe and a layered outsole for increased traction. Stay tuned for a full review of this model in the coming weeks.
