The Human Rights Now! collection by Reebok launched as part of a long-term product platform designed to fuel the brand's mission to contribute to human rights movements. The collection includes a revisit of the brand's original graphics from the 1988 Human Rights Now! World Tour. The benefit concert series raised awareness for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Amnesty International.
The unisex collection includes the Classic Leather, the Club-C. It also includes a range of apparel: an HRN hoodie, a T-shirt, and Shorts. Through the Human Rights Now! Platform Reebok aims to raise $10M over the next five years to benefit Black and LatinX communities directly. In addition, the brand is donating $270,000 to RISE, a non-profit that educates and empowers sports communities to eliminate racial discrimination.
