From the designs of Gorillaz co-creator, Jamie Hewlett comes four unique design concepts: military inspired camouflage print, taken from the cover of their self-titled debut; a black/brown canvas hi-top in similar military style; and the two others with a collage of images from their album artwork created specifically for this collaboration.

The shoes, which are being released on February 23rd, will also come coupled with the free track available for download at www.facebook.com/converse on the same day and a video releasing on the 29th.

Renowned shoe company, Reebok, teamed up with Korean based street fashion brand, Kasina, to give their “Workout” sneaker a 25th anniversary edition. The “Tweed” design is a very nice touch that gives the sneaker a sense of timelessness; although the tan-rubber “Reebok” embossing on the side, slightly distorts the balance of the beautiful Tweed upper. With 15 shoe companies from around the world given free reign to design Reebok’s “Workout” sneakers their 25th Anniversary spin, one can expect a wide variety of styles to choose from. This and the other collaborations for Reebok’s 25 Anniversary “Workout” Sneaker will be available for purchase mid-February.
