Wait 66 how???
Angry rant!Well, for those of you who haven't seen it, it looks like Waldy Cruz (sneaker collector dude from Philly I follow on Twitter) won that Finish Line Question design contest. So Reebok invites him to their HQ for a tour and to finish some design aspects so they can make his 1/1 pair (apparently it was a Question Low he designed). While he's there, he snaps some pics of a Kendrick sample pair of Classic Leathers done the same way as the Red/Blue "Neutral" Vents and posts them on Twitter. Well, the sneaker blogs go ham reposting his pics, and Reebok was (rightfully, imo) pissed enough to actually cancel his custom. He's been *****ing about it on twitter, but I think he's in the wrong. He says they asked him not to take pics of certain things, but didn't specifically say not to on others.
In general he's a pretty good dude, and I've bought stuff from him before for good deals. But I definitely think he kinda overstepped on this one just to get some quick social media hype, and it cost him pretty badly.
Angry rant!
What a ****ING idiot, fcucktards like that are what is all wrong with today's generation and the status of the sneaker culture, it really makes me super mad, not only for this ishhead and ruing it for all of us, but for Reebok too for selecting him in a first place, I am sorry, and that will sound like a giant dbag statement to someone that doesn't know me, but it should have been me, or someone that really loves, lives and breathes Reebok, a person that is in to Reebok for ever and understands NDA agreements. ****!
... you do NOT sound like a d-bag... everyone on this forum knows how you feel about Reebok.... nothing wrong with you being passionate about Reebok!!!

They shroud sue his *** for sure, for just being a dumb as a bag of hair.yep guy is clueless. I told him Reebok did him a favour by flying him out to HQ having a limo for him letting him design a 1/1 question with any material and colors and to repay them he takes pictures of a bunch of unreleased questions and leaks photos of their biggest Artists next sneaker. Worst part is when i told him that he doesn't think he did anything wrong and says they didn't do him a favour he won a contest. He seems to think Reebok is overreacting but fails to realize for some instagram love he ruined a once in a lifetime change.
funny thing is if he would have just not leaked the photos and waited until he got his 1 of 1 custom he would have made the blogs for being one of the very few people to have their own question. now all he has is a dream dude is lucky Reebok didn't sue.
Oh man.... that's pretty epic. I was waiting to see your response to my post, and wow... gotta say I wasn't expecting quite such a 'passionate' post, though I compleely agree. I absolutely was pulling for you to win that contest just because you've gotta be one of the best brand ambassadors Reebok Classic has.
Thanks fellas and sorry for that rant again, but I am really touchy when it comes to Reebok and people like that really piss me off.

i'm not upset as you over Reebok selecting him but i'm shaking my head at the Reebok employee that let him keep his phone during the tour. if Reebok didn't want him taking pictures, they should have taken away his phone. the first time he took out his phone during the tour he should have been tackled.
trentdb, keep the faith.

To be honest, it would have been a life long dream come true for me, something truly unimaginable.
Can I play devil's advocate here and say that Reebok needs all the publicity it can get?
So the Kendrick Lamar joint that released earlier this year was one of the few sought after Reebok retros/collaborations, but is anyone else checking out for the rest of their catalog? I'm willing to bet that this dude could've posted pictures of every upcoming Reebok joint for the next 2 years and it would make NO difference to their bottom line.
Sure, but he only posted the pics of those horrible Questions and a pair of Kendricks that may only have been rejected samples of a different model.
Not sure that's the kind of publicity Reebok wants. Regardless, it was pretty disrespectful if him.
I designed these two and debating which to cop
