The Reebok Kamikaze II returns with this dark, hip hop-infused commercial.
There is no dialogue, no script and no big faces: just a basketball, a player and the Reebok Kamikaze II. This advertisement for Reebok’s latest throwback release is pure athletic emotion. It gives you that raw, street feel that makes you want to dunk over someone and pound your chest.
The shoe design is one of the more dynamic to come from Reebok in a while and feature zig zag patterns on the side. They come in a variety of colorways, including the black on black shown in this commercial as well as the black and red that is displayed at the end.
The Reebok Kamikaze II feature a forefoot with Hexalite cushioning and a heel with Ultra Hexalite cushioning.
