In a heartfelt tribute to Brodie Lee, Sole Retriever has unveiled a new collaboration between Reebok and AEW, set to release a special edition shoe on July 1st.
Priced at $90 and available at Champs, the AEW x Reebok Classic Leather Brodie Lee pays homage to the late wrestling star.
Crafted with a blend of suede and leather, the shoe features a predominantly sleek black design accented by purple details on the heel and tongue tag. These accents symbolize Brodie Lee’s ties to The Dark Order, a prominent faction in AEW. The lateral collar proudly displays AEW branding, while the tongue tag prominently showcases The Dark Order’s logo. Inside, a touching tribute to “The Exalted One,” Brodie Lee’s revered moniker, graces the tongue.
The midsole blends shades of purple and grey, with a special homage to Brodie Lee near the heel, while the outsole completes the aesthetic with a black and purple color scheme.
Previously, Reebok and AEW collaborated on the Young Bucks Pumps. Brodie Lee, sadly lost to the wrestling world in December 2020 at the age of 41, continues to be fondly remembered through tributes like this.
