Sneakers Release – Reebok Kamikaze II “Candy Land” Collab Launches 4/21

Sneakers Release – Reebok Kamikaze II “Candy Land” Collab Launches 4/21

Apr 20, 2021

Remember Candy Cane Forest and Gumdrop Mountain? These magical locales from your childhood are getting a modern footwear twist. The classic kids’ board game Candy Land has partnered with Reebok to launch a collection of shoes that appeal to your sweet tooth.

The four-shoe collection will feature Reebok’s Question Mid, Classic Leather and Club C 85 silhouettes, but it’s the Kamikaze II we’re most stoked about. The “Candy Land” Kamikaze II drops on April 21 in men’s sizes fit for royalty… at least the royalty of Candy Castle.

Super Green, Bright Orange and Blue Bomb coat the upper in sugary sweetness, oozing in cascading waves of icing across the middle. Beneath, you’ll find dashes of yellow along the heel and midsole, as well as a jagged streak of purple in the midsole. The outsole is an ooey-gooey red that looks good enough to eat. Overall, the look is inspired by the colorful path that leads you across the game board.

The traditional Candy Land emblem is prominent on the tongue and insole, while little white stars give off a little glow around the heel, middle and toe box. You’ll find more traditional green Reebok detailing underfoot in the tread pattern. And just in case you were unsure of where to put your feet, the “Start” arrow from the game is imprinted downward on the inside of the tongue to help guide your toes into position.

The colorful upgrade breathes new life into the Kamikaze II you’re familiar with. As Shawn Kemp’s most popular signature sneaker, the Kamikaze II was originally released in 1995 and led him to an appearance in the NBA Finals that year. Today’s version is a take on the retro that first made its appearance in 2013, but it looks just as fresh.

Whether you’re climbing the Ice Cream Slopes or hitting the hardwood, the EVA midsole in these kicks gives you the lightweight cushioning you need to give it your all. Additional Hexalite cushioning offers superior shock absorption so that you can take jump shot after jump shot.

Nostalgia and confectioneries combine in this basketball shoe that’s sure to be a treat for your feet worth splurging for. Pick up the Reebok Kamikaze II “Candyland” in men’s sizes starting April 21 online or at your local Hibbett | City Gear.
