Reebok and Candy Land join forces on a pack of footwear designs that celebrate the iconic Hasbro board game. Candy Land first launched back in 1949 and the sugary motifs can be found decorating the Reebok sneaker models.
Some of the shoes that are in the pack include the Question Mid 'Sweet Moves" and the Kamikaze II sneaker that is named "Bring the Sweet." The uppers have Rainbow Trail-themed windows that are incorporated into the midfoot sections. The Kamikaze II sneakers rest on a patent leather base foundation for a bright touch. Notably, the pack also features kids sneaker options in the form of the Classic Leather 'Where Kandy Rules' and the Club C 85 'Make the Journey' sneaker.
