Walk to Boardwalk While Wearing It, Too
Reebok and Hasbro are combining forces to release a line of Monopoly-inspired footwear starting in August 2008. As the press release notes, “the Monopoly footwear collection by Reebok will feature a variety of different styles for toddlers, kids and adults [and will be] available at select mall based retailers around the world.”
The shoes use the familiar Monopoly icons – tokens, houses, Community Chest cards, money – to create details on the shoes. Says Christian Stegmaier, Reebok’s Head of Lifestyle Product Marketing, “The Monopoly collection by Reebok is designed with consumers in mind who are not afraid to be individuals and stand out from the crowd.” Translation: They’re ugly.
