"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.
