Reebok is Launching New POWER RANGERS Shoes and Apparel This Month
Reebok and Hasbro recently announced a second collection of shoes inspired by Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The first line had some pretty cool shoes inspired by the famous Power Rangers and this time, three noteworthy villains get their time to shine. Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, and Rito Revolto are the inspirations behind the new shoes. I was actually shocked at how much I liked the Instapump Fury 94 shoes which are based on Rita. It really works well. Fans will be able to purchase their favorites over at Reebok starting March 25.
Instapump Fury Rita Repulsa ($200 | GW0782) – This Instapump Fury features all of Rita Repulsa’s signature markings from the icon on the pump ball which represents Rita’s staff, to the bands on the tongue, which resemble Rita’s headband. Rita’s influence even seeps into the materials with pony hair featured on the heel cup to emulate Rita’s headware.
Hurrikaze II Low Rito Revolto ($140 | GY5928) – The upper of this Kamikaze II Low makes the shoe instantly recognizable as Rito Revolto as the neutral upper represents Rito’s bones and the camo application on the medial side suede resembles Rito’s outfit. Other warnings that this shoe is for villains only is that the sneaker’s tongue includes the Evil Space Alien callout on the right side and the “Danger Ranger” skull and crossbones on the left side.
Answer IV Lord Zedd ($170 | GZ6897) – Lord Zedd takes over this Answer IV with a red, rippled upper that resembles Lord Zedd’s body, silver overlays that nod to Lord Zedd’s armor and a blue tube along the lateral side which mimics Lord Zedd’s tubes. The villain even shows up on the outsole where Iverson’s face would typically be on this classic basketball silhouette.
In addition, there will be a hoodie, a long sleeve tee, and 3 t-shirts to grab as well.
The hoodie is inspired by the Megazord’s transformation and incorporates a hand-drawn Megazord emblem in the center graphic on the back of the piece. The long sleeve tee embodies the Green Ranger and features several details representative of the character, from his alias, Thomas “Tommy” Oliver, to his “Dragon Dagger.” Finally, the three t-shirts are all in the style of retro arcade graphics and showcase both the heroes and villains of the Power Rangers franchise.
