We are bringing forward four upcoming trends for the youth in the Fall Winter’08 collection. We have nearly 20 Reebok Classics stores across the country already and we plan to take the figure up to 75 stores by the end of the year.

The dance inspired collection that I loved has interesting neck designs, shimmer and style, which gives it a very Club look. There is also dance inspired fashion footwear collection which is available in satin materials with shapely contours and loads of colours.”

Sleeveless Hoodies with bold prints makes for an ideal winter collection with just the right mix of keeping you warm yet stylish. I can associate with it as that’s the kind of clothing I like to wear off-field - Cool, trendy yet comfortable.”
