"The collection is designed to pay homage to my roots and the community around me."

Reebok's Pledge to Support the Justin Fields Foundation

Reebok has pledged to donate ,000 in support of Fields' foundation, which he started a couple of years ago. The foundation aims to help the younger community in terms of scholastic achievement, health, wellness, leadership development, and empowerment."We're proud to partner with Justin as he continues to uplift and inspire so many young athletes," said Portia Blunt, SVP of Product, Creative Direction & Social Impact at Reebok.

The FloatZig 1 running shoe, on the other hand, is engineered to make the wearer feel like they're "floating," enhancing their running experience and speed.When it comes to off-the-field style, Fields turns to classic Reebok silhouettes, such as the Classic Leathers, AI's, and Question Mids. These timeless shoes can be easily paired with any outfit, allowing Fields to showcase his personal fashion sense.

Inspired by Reebok's Legacy and Legendary Athletes

Fields' decision to partner with Reebok was influenced by the brand's rich history in sports and its significant impact on popular culture. The opportunity to collaborate with Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson, who have taken on leadership roles within the Reebok organization, further inspired Fields to join forces with the legacy brand."There were many things that stood out and inspired me to partner with Reebok," Fields said. "Of course, the brand's legacy in sports and the huge impact they've had on culture, legends AI and Shaq who I can't wait to work with more, and Reebok's plan to expand back into the Sports world really excited me."

Rewriting the Record Books

Justin Fields is widely regarded as one of the most uniquely gifted athletes in the NFL. During his first three seasons with the Chicago Bears, he established himself as a dual-threat quarterback, showcasing his exceptional running abilities.In November 2022, Fields set the league record for the most rushing yards in a single game, surpassing the previous mark held by former NFL quarterback Michael Vick. This record-breaking performance was a "full circle" moment for Fields, who grew up in Kennesaw, Georgia, just a short distance from where Vick made his mark with the Atlanta Falcons."I was just surprised by what happened," Fields told Fox News Digital. "I didn't know what happened because I've always been able to run, but that was my first time doing that since little league. It was definitely a day to remember, having all those rushing yards, and having that good of a game."The "Reebok x Justin Fields Collection" is now available online and at select retailers, offering fans and aspiring athletes the opportunity to connect with the rising NFL star and support his mission of empowering the next generation.
