Reebok launches its Bowery pop-up shop with a footwear-themed fête
Thursday, November 20, 2008

(NEW YORK) There was nary a sneakered starlet in sight at the Reebok 'Flash' store launch party last night. That didn't stop guests from pronouncing their love for the shoes, however. "I've been wearing Reeboks since I was five years old," said Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen. So the girl does dress down. "No, I just wear Jason Wu all day," she joked, sporting a black sheath by the designer. "I'm a jeans and black T-shirt girl. You can't go wrong with that."

Michelle Trachtenberg is also a self-proclaimed fan. "I just got a cute new pair that are silver with baby blue details," she said, before dishing about her busy work schedule. "I have three movies coming out next year, one at Sundance, one with Zac Efron, and one with Topher Grace. I always take the holidays off, because it's very important for me to spend time with my family."

"I love sneakers because I'm tall and don't wear heels unless I'm going out out," said 30 Rock's Katrina Bowden. "I prefer low tops. High tops look good on other people--especially guys--but they just look silly on me. If I had the weather my way, I'd always be wearing denim shorts, a t-shirt, and cool sneakers." Jorts? Looks like Cathy Horyn started a trend.
