“As a member of a historically Black Greek organization, January, the founding month of my sisterhood, is incredibly special to me,” says Rebbok’s vice president of apparels, Portia Blunt. “These communities foster a unique bond and heritage of service work that has been maintained for over a century. I am proud to have the opportunity to celebrate and honor the legacies of these organizations and create a capsule many of our team members can tell their personal stories through.”

Senior vice president of U.S. Commercial Sales, John Moore, notes the collection’s goal to “help shine a light on the important efforts of historically Black fraternities and sororities.”

The collection’s campaign features Reebok employees; some are a part of sororities and fraternities.

The collection launches on January 10, with a starting price point of $25, the report says.
