#38: The Coolest Sneakers
Do you remember when Reebok collaborated with Kool-Aid and released a line of Kool-Aid sneakers? It was in 2008, but it feels like ages ago. The first collection had three colors (inspired by flavors of the iconic drink): red (grape), strawberry (red), and cherry (pink), and they were all the rage.
It featured the Kool-Aid Man’s iconic face and the logo on the back of the sneakers. This special edition was released before the 2008 Super Bowl in honor of NFL star Laurence Maroney, who had the iconic nickname Kool-Aid. The collection is no longer manufactured, so if you find these in your local thrift store, we recommend buying them—just for old time’s sake!
