Two New England companies have collaborated on a footwear collection that's uniquely suited for a stroll on Boardwalk or Park Place: Monopoly-themed sneakers.
Reebok, based in Canton, and Pawtucket, R.I.-based toy maker Hasbro Inc. are launching this unlikely mash-up featuring a variety of styles based on the popular board game. Monopoly dice, tokens, cards, houses, hotels, and money inspired the details and overall design of the shoes, Reebok said.
The line will debut worldwide late this month, with a suggested retail price range of $40 for toddler sizes and $75 to $85 for women's and men's sizes. The second wave of the collection is scheduled to launch in November.
