Reebok works in collaboration with Panini America on a special collection of apparel and footwear options that celebrate Prizm Sports Cards.
Jason Howarth, the VP of Marketing at Panini America talks about the collectible range "This has been a long time coming [...] The Prizm brand has helped launch sports trading cards into the mainstream. It reaches beyond the hobby, just like Iverson reaches beyond basketball. To be able to authentically bring together two iconic brands who each have such a deep connection to sports, collectibles, and culture – we think this one will be fun for everyone who engages with it." The footwear options are highlighted by two Question Mid sneakers in a Tiger Prizm and a Black Pulsar Prizm colorway.
