Reebok Classic Party

Andy Kho and I attended Reebok’s “Classic Party” on 27 December, 2013, at Black Box, Publika, Kuala Lumpur where the brand introduced their Spring Summer 2014 (SS14) collections with new updates that celebrates the brand’s heritage in fitness, running and basketball.
Reebok believes that the collective energy of community is incredibly powerful, and the Reebok Classic line is a fashion and style brand with authentic heritage in fitness, and is focused on sparking the movement and coming together of like-minded and passionate people who embrace originality and take risks. The Reebok Classic SS14 range delivers a lineup that is characteristic of Reebok Classic since the ‘80s, along with stylized updates to keep the range relevant and desirable to the younger generation of millennials.
2014 is a milestone year for Reebok with the 30th Anniversary of the “Reebok Princess” collection, 25th Anniversary for the groundbreaking “The Pump”, and the 20th Anniversary of the “Pump Fury” collection.
2014 also sees Reebok Classic re-introduce some of its most iconic silhouettes with authentic bring-back colourways (the “OGs”) as well as brand new materials, fabrications and executions.

The main highlight of the party was Reebok’s special collaboration with XU & Joe Chia. Xu is the founder of the “LapSap”, Twilight Action Girl & “Mini Compo” Group and well-known in the music industry, even among the likes of Verbal of Teriyaki Boys and famous music Producer and Grammy Award Winner, Swizz Beatz.
Joe Chia is a fashion designer without boundaries, which has led him to a status of international recognition. Adding to his list of achievements, Joe has collaborated with Shu Emura, G-Shock and Uniqlo. He was also named as “ A pioneer of avant-garde fashion scene in Malaysia” by Esquire Malaysia. And his latest achievement was marked today as one of the Ambassadors for Reebok.
The two have come together in piecing and designing a retro all black Reebok Classic Jacket (pictured above) with their signature embroidery patch at the back. This limited edition jacket will be available as part of the Classic collection by Reebok for 2014.

2014 marks the 20th Anniversary of one of Reebok Classic’s most recognizable shoes– the Insta Pump Fury. Reebok will celebrate this occasion with the re-release of the original red, yellow and black colourway, the Insta Pump Fury OG – with its futuristic twist and bespoke technology.
In addition to that, 27 global product collaborations have been created through the Reebok Classic Certified Network as part of the celebrations.
