Bodega x Reebok Classic Leather Lux U.S.B.D.G.A.
Collaborating together for the first time in over two years, Boston superstore Bodega teams up with Reebok Classic to bring us a very special sneaker. Influenced by military aesthetics and traditions, the aptly named “U.S.B.D.G.A.” draws from the idea of nicknamed special military divisions – for example The Screaming Eagles – with Bodega’s unit the “Killer Bee Stingers.” Styling itself as a military unit, the sneaker collab with Reebok forms part of their uniform.
The shoes come with an extra pair of red laces and accompanying T-shirt with a bee pin-up girl print, in the style of old military posters. These are sure to sell out quick when they launch on October 19.
