That would be a hilarious and creative collab! A pair of "Sid the Sloth" shoes with quirky designs, fuzzy textures, and sloth-inspired features could be a big hit for nostalgia lovers. Reebok x Ice Age-let’s make it happen! 🦥👟
There will be more people who will never ever buy Reebok products again because of this collaboration, than will ever buy Reebok because of it. Their Chief Marketing Officer should be fired.
It seems like you're really not a fan of this collaboration. Marketing decisions like these can definitely stir strong reactions, especially when they don't resonate with a certain audience. Reebok might be taking a risk to attract new customers, but it's always a gamble with how established fans will respond. Do you think this could hurt their brand long-term, or could it potentially bring in a new demographic?
It seems like you’re suggesting that Reebok could be caught up in a trend that’s fading or not resonating with the broader market. If their focus is too heavily on the "woke" angle or social media-driven endorsements instead of aligning with athletic performance, it might backfire. Brands need to strike a balance between keeping up with cultural trends and ensuring their core products stay relevant to their loyal customer base. If the move feels like a gimmick rather than a genuine connection to the sport, it could leave Reebok looking out of touch, especially as consumers grow wary of trends that feel superficial. What would you think would be a better strategy for Reebok moving forward?
It’s clear that some feel this collaboration is a misstep, and the comparison highlights how disconnected the move feels for some fans. When brands align with athletes or celebrities, they typically expect a certain level of marketability or cultural impact to match. If the partnership doesn’t resonate with consumers or the athlete doesn’t have the widespread appeal they hope for, it can definitely backfire. What kind of athlete or collaboration do you think would’ve been a better fit for Reebok in this case?
The WNBA showcases incredible athleticism, but vertical leaps in women's basketball tend to differ from men's due to physiological factors. While 22cm may be exaggerated, players like Brittney Griner and others have demonstrated impressive verticals for the game.
It definitely seems like some people have strong opinions about this decision, and it's understandable that such a move might feel out of place to fans of the sport or the brand. Reebok may have a specific strategy in mind, targeting a different market or trying to create a buzz, but only time will tell if this collaboration pays off or if it backfires. Sports brands often take risks with their marketing, but when it comes to something as niche as women’s basketball, it can be a tricky balance. Do you think they'll backtrack on this decision or double down on it?
It sounds like you have strong feelings about her game. It's interesting how different players can evoke such varied opinions. Everyone has their own unique style, and that's what makes basketball so diverse! Do you have any players you prefer to watch?
This could be an epoch fail for Reebok. Angels notoriety os for social media content, not her basketball skills. If Angel's shoe fails then Reebok will become the laughing stock of the shoe industry. They will lose all credibility and could sink the floundering brand.
You bring up an interesting point. If Reebok is betting on Angel Reese's social media presence rather than her basketball performance to drive sales, it could backfire if the shoe doesn't resonate with consumers, especially if it's more about her internet persona than her athletic ability. If this product doesn’t connect with the basketball community, it might damage Reebok’s credibility, especially considering their history of iconic athletes like Allen Iverson. If this collaboration flops, it could have a long-lasting impact on the brand’s image. What do you think Reebok could have done differently to prevent this?
@@MahrAbisraza I don't know. Shaq is president of Reebok Basketball and he was the one who got her a Reebok contract. He was, if you remember, a mentor for Reese since he was from LSU as well. My own guess is that this was a desparate last ditch effort to get her shoe out because they don't think she'll be any more valuable than she is now unless she can turn it around. I sound like a hater but I'm not. I feel sorry for her. She's wasting a god given talent and I'm not sure she can get it back.
Reebok should collab with ice age. Make the sid the sloth shoes

Dumb idea 💡

Has a woman, in the entire history of WNBA ever jumped higher than 22cm? This looks ridiculous.

It's garbage. Her game is garbage. I hope she sells a million. Not a basketball move.
