#42: The Coolest Sneakers
Do you remember when Reebok had a collaboration 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 had the Kool-Aid Man’s iconic face and the logo on the back of the sneakers. It was a special edition that 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!
