Reebok Revive Legendary 'Life Is Not A Spectator Sport' Mantra as a Call to Action
have gone back into their archive and refreshed a legendary mantra that still rings true today. In 2022, ‘Life Is Not A Spectator Sport’ transcends its imperative athletic origins and enforces the idea of active and passionate participation in all facets of modern living. The revival of this important message also coincides with the restoration of the to its true 'Vintage'.
As society and people continue to evolve, the ‘Life Is Not A Spectator Sport’ concept remains succinctly relevant. In the most traditional sense of the phrase, as it was used when it came to prominence in the mid 1980s, it's a call to do more than just wait in the wings. Enacting positive change – whether by activism, legislation or any other means – can only happen when individuals get involved rather than stand idly by.
Of course, the message can also easily boil down to being a timely reminder that you can get more out of everyday experiences. This can be enhanced by doing the simplest things – say, wearing a new pair of sneakers. Reebok have refreshed the Classic Leather Vintage with heritage accuracy and refined details that recall its original form – so it’s a pretty good place to start. Some updates are immediately noticed, such as a sleeker toe box and revised outsole lugs. While others are subtly significant, like the new foam cover on the sockliner for extra comfort.
