Reebok, Boys & Girls Club of Carson, Calif., Restore Youth Court

Reebok continues its message that “Life is Not a Spectator Sport” as the brand combines community with court heritage.

The Vector logo brand has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and non-profit Project Backboard for the members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson, California. The refurbished court features a custom butterfly mural sharing Reebok’s “Life is Not a Spectator Sport” message and the mission of its youth physical activity program, BOKS, encouraging kids to get active and to connect with life and one another.

The Boys & Girls Club chapter serves 5,400 youth in Carson, Gardena, and South Los Angeles.

“‘Life is Not a Spectator Sport’ is an especially important message for kids,” Vice President, Global Brand Marketing at Reebok Design Group, Caroline Machen, said. “Enhancing the game of basketball has always been a part of Reebok’s DNA, and we’re excited to bring this message to their home court in a way that makes sense for them. Even if it’s one Club or community at a time, if we continue to do the work, we can help build a more connected, active, and creative generation.”

The collaborative effort is creating safe, inclusive, and engaging environments.

“The ongoing pandemic has sidelined our kids for far too long,” stated Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson CEO Kim Richards. “I can’t think of a better way to get kids back in the game than having our clubhouse basketball court transformed thanks to the generosity of Reebok and Project Backboard. These renovations are a slam dunk toward our vision to provide equitable access to sports and fitness for kids in our under-resourced community.”

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
