We all know Alicia Keys can sang, but did you know she also has some serious design chops too? The singer hooked up with Reebok Classics to create some limited-edition kicks, and, um, we want them all. Alicia did a totally new take on our old Reebok favorites—the Freestyle Hi (5411), Freestyle Double Bubble, Classic Nylon Slim and Princess—which she models oh-so-adorably in the campaign images above. The coolest part, though, is that during the Video Music Awards tonight at 8 P.M. EST (where she is also performing at! Check out her rehearsal pics from last night where she is, yes, wearing the brand), Reebok will debut her new Classics commercial that shows her “soul-searching journey to the top against the world’s greatest canvas and Keys’ hometown—New York City,” according to the press release. Oh la la! “I’ve been a Reebok fan ever since I put on my first pair of 5411′s,” Alicia said. “Collaborating with Reebok and designing this collection has been such a cool experience because I’ve been able to tap into my creativity in a whole new way. Reebok’s one of those brands that have endured the test of time and partnering with them felt like a really natural fit.” I mean, when her hubby Swizz Beatz is creative director of the brand it can only BE natural fit, amirite?
Her first set of sneakers feature an all black and gold studded out collection that includes, yes, even the city skyline on one pair. We could totally sport these bad boys on a daily basis with, like, everything. Studs + leather = automatic love. Below, her tribal-themed sneakers include purple, yellow, grey and beige-colored kicks that can add a hint of fun to any ensemble. All of these shoes are currently available to purchase Finish Line, Footaction, Macy’s, City Gear, and Reebok.com, but what do you think—will you be swiping up a pair of Alicia Keys-designed kicks?
