It would be hard not to be a fan of the Keith Haring x Reebok Fall 2014 collection. Dubbed 'Crack is Wack,' it's made for kids and adults with a deep appreciation for street art as well as the iconic American artist himself. Full of vivid colors and cartoonish imagery, its name and visuals borrow from his 1986 mural originally displayed in East Harlem.
Re-designing the classic silhouettes of the Instapump Fury, Omni Lite, Court Victory, Running Dual and Aerobic Lite, the Keith Haring x Reebok Fall 2014 collection is something every sneaker collector should try to get their hands on. The designs are so good, they can easily enjoy a spot in an art gallery next to the rest of Keith Haring's creations.
