Sporting Fashion

In a new collaboration for Fall/Winter 2010, Emporio Armani and Reebok are working together to provide a perfect combination of the worlds of sport and fashion: on one side, Reebok’s long-standing history in sports, and on the other Emporio Armani’s glamour and fashion-conscious style.

The collaboration fuses Reebok together Emporio Armani and  Reebok's EA7 capsule range to present a unique athletic footwear and apparel collection defined by the intersection of pure sport and pure fashion. The dress sneaker features a sleek design that unites a sartorial construction with the most advanced technology, such as where the lace up sneaker has a textured leather upper and a rubber injected hand-made leather sole featuring a shock absorbing DMX Heel Mega technology.

The 'Pump Vintage' unisex shoe takes its inspiration from a retro court silhouette, where the two-tone rubber sole features a crystal effect, shock absorbing technology and a cushioning system which is made up of hexagon-shaped cells. Whilst the 'Vintage Runner' inspired by a retro running silhouette, re-visits key elements of Reebok’s technical heritage alongside unexpected construction details and design from Emporio Armani.

Rich, luxurious fabrics as traditionally used by Emporio Armani have been infused with cutting-edge Reebok technologies to maximize comfort, fit and performance for the apparel for men and women.
