The Reebok G-Unit G6 is coming back to Foot Locker. Its release calendar lists the white, blue and red pair for Friday, November 20, at $130, with a limit of one per person.
Europe is another story. Reebok’s own European store lists it at €130 and shows it sold out.
The 2003 shoe, unchanged
Reebok first brought out the G6 in 2003 with 50 Cent, at the height of his rise after Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
Reebok says this pair is reissued without changes from that 2003 original. That means a leather and suede upper in red, white and blue, the G-Unit logo, and an icy rubber outsole.
“The G-Unit sneaker was a special time, and it’s wild to see it still hit over 20 years later,” 50 Cent says on Reebok’s page. Todd Krinsky, Reebok’s CEO, puts it this way: “He helped define a chapter of our history, and the G6 still holds up.”
What’s in the photos
Foot Locker’s shot shows the details people remember. “G Unit” is stitched in blue script on the heel. A red, white and blue stripe runs onto a grey suede toe. The collar is lined in blue, and the clear outsole has a blue tint.
How to get a pair
The US route is Foot Locker’s release page. Its listing says to have your account and billing details up to date before the drop.
In Europe, keep an eye on Reebok’s G-Unit page: it still lists the pair, marked sold out.
Foot Locker’s page shows men’s sizes only. More from the brand is on our Reebok page.
