Reebok + Hasbro = Monopoly Sneakers

reebok monopoly sneaker.jpgEverybody was pretty upset last week when Hasbro finally shut down Scrabulous, so it looks like they’ve found a way for everybody to kiss and make up -

They’ve teamed up with Reebok to create a line of shoes based on Monopoly, the first wave of which comes out later this month, retailing between $75 and $85.

We appreciate the funny collaboration, and really do have fond memories of our brother getting us to set up the entire game of Monopoly when we were kids, then turning the entire board over and declaring “Game Over!” before it had even begun, but could we please get a little RIP Scrabulous and get some kicks that spell out funny words in Scrabble tiles, too?

Because then we wouldn’t be as pissed.

Wow I can see all NY's hipster kids killing each other for a pair. So sad.

Scrabulous was only shut down ON facebook b/c Hasbro came up w/ their own Scrabble application. If you love it and miss it that much, you can still play on the actual Scrabulous site. Just choose a room, have your friend(s) meet you there and set up a game. My boyfriend (who is not on facebook) and I have been doing that for months.

the sneaker game has been rotten for the past two years. It's more of 'what kind of crap can we cover a shoe with?' right now. This shoe is no exception. Though, the Basquiat reebok was simply depressing.
