National Geographic Collection Encourages Wearers to Take Their Explorations Further


Boston, MA – WEBWIRE

Today, Reebok announces the launch of its first Reebok x National Geographic collection. This full-family footwear collection pairs both Reebok performance and lifestyle silhouettes with design details inspired by National Geographic’s riveting visual storytelling from around the world.

To bring the collection to life, Reebok has collaborated with two National Geographic Explorers, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant and Matthieu Paley, to take the adventure-inspired footwear into the field, capturing content from their experiences. Both fierce advocates for wildlife conservation, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant is a large carnivore ecologist focused on the ecological and social drivers of human-carnivore conflict. Matthieu Paley is an award-winning photographer who has focused his efforts on regions that he deems as misrepresented or misunderstood.

“Shoes are the ultimate portal into exploration” says Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant on the Reebok x National Geographic collaboration. “They provide protection as we travel through new terrains, but also, over time they often tell amazing stories about the journeys we’ve taken and the experiences we’ve went through.

[i"I was thrilled to join Reebok and National Geographic to not only shine a light on the incredible environments that inspired the collection but to also provide inspiration for future exploration.”[/i]
