🏈🔥 Same legend. Same shoe. Different color.

🎃💀 BOKTOBER keeps rolling…

Yesterday we brought the black/royal/white 1997 Reebok Rush II. Today we’re switching the colorway with the absolutely BEAUTIFUL white/black/royal version! 🤍🖤💙

Designed by @designer_esm for NFL legend @emmittsmith22, the Rush II is another reminder of just how incredible 90s sneaker design really was.

Bold lines, unmistakable style, and a signature shoe worthy of one of the greatest running backs to ever touch a football. 🏈🐐

Two days. Two colorways. One underrated 90s masterpiece.

👇 NOW THE REAL QUESTION: Which pair wins?

⚫️ Yesterday’s BLACK/ROYAL or ⚪️ today’s WHITE/ROYAL?

Drop your pick below! 👀🔥

🏈🔥 One of the greatest running backs ever had sneakers this good?!

BOKTOBER continues with another absolute banger! 💀🎃

The 1997 Reebok Rush II, created for NFL legend @emmittsmith22, is a perfect example of why 90s sneaker design was on another level.

That black/royal/white colorway is incredible. 🔥💙⚫️

Designed to perfection by @designer_esm, these are a reminder of an era when signature sneakers had personality, innovation, and style.

Emmitt Smith was legendary on the field, but how many of you remember his Reebok signature line? 👀

👇 Would you buy these today, or are they strictly for the vintage collectors?

Seeing Michael Vick light up the turf in the Nike Air Zoom Vick 2 was pure mid-2000s magic.

Crafted specifically for number 7’s unmatched agility, this trainer hit the sweet spot with its structural midfoot straps, durable leather upper, and fast-acting Zoom Air unit. It easily crossed over from high school Friday night lights to weekend streetwear fits, solidifying its place in the golden era of Nike turf shoes!!!

ATAVISM
• /ˈadəˌvizəm/ • The reappearance of a trait in an organism that was present in a remote ancestor but has been missing for one or more generations
• On a biological level, Atavism is commonly referred to as an “Evolutionary Throwback”.
• Atavism occurs only when latent genetic code from past ancestors is switched back on during development. •
For @jumpman23 one problem always remains. How can we honor the past, but move toward the future? Pressing the “retro” button one too many times, can lead to diminishing returns. How can we tip the cap, and flip the script at the same time? ATAVISM looms.

Still taking it all in. 🥹✨

From the preparation behind the scenes to watching our vision come to life in Idlewild and even sharing the story through the news this experience meant so much more to me than an activation.

This journey started with the vision of Dr. Edwards, who encouraged us to look deeper, think bigger, and remember that the only limits on our creativity are the ones we place on ourselves. Thank you for trusting me with the opportunity to bring an idea to life at the @blackfootwearforum 🙏🏽

Mrs. Edwards, thank you for your encouragement, positive words, and the way you continuously show up alongside Dr. Edwards. Your presence throughout this experience meant more than you know. 🧡

Learning Virgil Abloh’s history and creative approach through the Virgil Abloh™ “ @post_____modern ” program challenged me to look at things differently, while @merrell It Starts Outside gave me the opportunity to use storytelling beyond product and connect it to something meaningful: the history, people, and community of Idlewild. 🤍

So much gratitude to @dior.edwards14 , Tam, @out.cast (for your beautiful Idlewild, Michigan art posters) , @deb.refined , @eustace.robinson , @liliadrianaknox , @chrisdixonnc , @2kreative , @aricarmon , Sam, Troy, Nikki, @b_mullen24 , @haydeedfranco , @hangersandlasts , @cotteonsmooth , @designer_esm , @ce_ce_chin @thetamikamayes , and the entire @plcdetroit team for going above and beyond. Thank you to @phylliscaddell for the incredible PR/media support and helping us share our story with @fox2detroit . ✨

Thank you @thehollyyoung , @erica.sanchez_1 and the rest of the incredible @merrell / @wolverineworldwide team, @allprocolorprinting (for printing everything so beautifully), @getflower.d (the beautiful flowers) , and especially the Idlewild community for welcoming us, trusting us, sharing your history, and allowing us to create alongside you @nicolenacreates @blackedenbrews.idlewildcoffee @idlewildaboutart @susan_matous , Blair, Chris, Joyce, Kurt and @infoscigeek
Special thank you to @fullmorejoancarol @poweredtodream @cherylkimbroughphotography for the continued encouragement and help 🙏🏽

It Starts Outside. 🧡
