The universe will once again be a safe place as Reebok partners with World Events Productions to launch a footwear collection this fall inspired by the WEP television series Voltron: Defender of the Universe.
Debuting in 1984, Voltron featured five Lion robots that assembled into the mighty robot warrior Voltron. The series proved to be a huge hit and quickly became the number one children’s program around the world. It is being reintroduced into popular culture with the debut of five Voltron-inspired Reebok shoes. The Reebok V-Pack collection empowers you with five boldly colored shoes that reflect the dynamic energy of Voltron. Each of these shoes represents one Lion robot and is aligned with some of Reebok’s best-known silhouettes to give you the power up you need to battle the forces of evil.
The first of the V-Pack shoes will hit retail stores this October. Each shoe represents a part of the robot and comes with a limited edition Lion robot toy. Collect all five shoes and toys and in true Voltron fashion, combine them to form a mighty Voltron robot warrior. Every few weeks, additional shoes will become available- first the legs (blue and yellow), followed by the arms (red and green) and finally the body (black) to complete the collection. Each of the shoes will retail with its corresponding Voltron lion robot toy:
Pump Omni Lite: inspired by the colors of the Yellow Lion and its pilot Hunk (Launching 5 October 2007)
