Artist and musician Tobe Nwigwe has revealed his latest creative project — the Reebok x Chukwu ABUO. This special sneaker is more than just stylish footwear; it’s a personal reflection of Nwigwe’s journey, his heritage, and his family values.
The ABUO is a fresh take on the classic Reebok BB 4000 II. It’s made with a mix of hairy suede, nubuck leather, and textile, giving it a premium feel. Curved overlays, a lace toggle closure, and a custom-molded heel logo add unique details to the design.
The sneaker comes in a “Mint” and “Chalk” colorway. For Nwigwe, mint isn’t just a color—it symbolizes new beginnings and the idea that things happen as they’re “mint” to be. He sees ABUO as the next chapter after his earlier “Preseason OTU” release, telling a bigger story about duality, balance, and staying connected to your roots while moving forward.
Family is at the heart of this release. Nwigwe says his children inspire how he thinks and creates, and that this collection is a piece of his family’s story, made to be shared. The campaign even features his family, and the sneaker will be available in sizes for adults, juniors, children, and infants.
The drop also includes a matching apparel collection with a heavyweight hoodie, coaches jacket, graphic T-shirts, and sweats — all designed with the same intention and style.
