Get to Steppin!

First up, Reebok has been partnering with a few interesting artists lately.  Their Remix collection, only available in Footlocker stores, is inspired by classic hip-hop artists.  Each artist is required to "remix" a hip-hop track and spin it their own way.  Partnerships include emerging hip-hop artists like Kidz in the Hall, who remixed Special Ed's "I Got it Made."

Check out my last blog on the launch:

On May 21st, Bobby Ray (Rebel Rock/Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records) AKA B.o.B will be the third artist in the series to re-interpret a classic song, which will be announced on May 21st. The new track will be available for download exclusively to customers who purchase styles from the Reebok Classic Remix collection, at Foot Locker stores nationwide.

Bobby Ray hails from Atlanta, Georgia. At just 20 years old, the rapper - born Bobby Ray Simmons - has become a breath of fresh air in Atlanta's snap and trap-obsessed scene. Known primarily for the frenetic energy of his song "Haterz Everywhere," Bobby Ray scored a record deal with Atlantic Records while he was still in high school. Now, the young rap phenomenon is ready to bring his genre-bending style nationwide with his highly anticipated debut, The Adventures of Bobby Ray.

Reebok will offer new styles and color ways from the Collection throughout the year, each featuring a new artist and re-interpreted track.

The newest shoe to drop at retail is the Classic Leather Wet Patent -- one of the marquee classic sneakers updated to continue its iconic look and feel. The Classic Leather Wet Patent sneaker retails for $70, exclusively at Foot Locker.

Also, in Atlanta Shree Moni footwear proudly unveils spring/ summer 2009 collection "Spring in Paris." 

Shree Moni will hold a private brand introduction on Wednesday May 27th in partnership with the Gerber Group at  the new W Hotel's Whiskey Blue rooftop lounge.

Recently showcased on Barbara Walter's daytime talk show the View, building celebrity interest and profiled by numerous fashion bogs, this collection caters to the polished woman, no matter her occupation, lifestyle, or flair.

"I saw a void in the market for quality fashionable shoes for the everyday woman at an attainable price. My goal was to design a shoe with a luxury flair using vivid colors, exotic leathers, textured materials and topping it with intricate detail. I wanted to provide a collection that exudes femininity, exclusivity and unconventional taste," states Shree Moni.  www.ShreeMoni.com
