The Ice Cream x Reebok Board Flip is returning in May 2026 with two new colorways, Pink Lemonade and Watermelon, marking a wide release for a shoe that first came back into the spotlight at ComplexCon 2025 in a limited drop.
Reebok has been part of sneaker culture for decades, building a catalog that spans performance basketball, classic running silhouettes, and a long history of collaborations with designers and artists who push the shoe in unexpected directions. The Board Flip sits comfortably in that collaborative tradition, a chunky low-top with a T-toe overlay, a fat tongue, a striped midsole, and the kind of bold construction that made it stand out from the beginning.
The Board Flip was originally created in 2005 as part of Ice Cream, the sneaker and streetwear sublabel that Pharrell Williams and NIGO built under the Billionaire Boys Club umbrella. Pharrell Williams is a multi-Grammy-winning producer and artist whose reach across music, fashion, and culture made him one of the most influential creative figures of the 2000s. NIGO is a Japanese designer and DJ best known as the founder of A Bathing Ape, a brand that helped define the intersection of Japanese streetwear and global hip-hop culture. Together they launched Ice Cream as a label defined by playful, dessert-inspired aesthetics, and the Board Flip was one of the first shoes to carry that vision, arriving in colorways like Banana Split, Cotton Candy, and Watermelon. A Board Flip 2 followed in 2007, and then the collaboration went quiet until Ice Cream and Reebok reconnected in 2019.
Both colorways arriving in May 2026 carry design details true to the original spirit. The Pink Lemonade edition uses a perforated leather base with a red suede eyestay and texturized rubber T-toe. Red leather covers the tongue, burgundy leather wraps the heel counter, yellow accents the lining, and a pink stripe runs partially through the red sole unit. Watermelon leans heavier on suede, pairing a perforated green base with a pink eyestay and green heel counter. The midsole on Watermelon splits between white with a pink stripe and gum sections. Both pairs carry the Cones and Bones logo on the lateral heel and repeating Ice Cream marks on the mustache and tongue.
The Watermelon colorway is a direct callback to the archive, while Pink Lemonade is a new expression that stays within the original design language. The Ice Cream x Reebok Board Flip in Pink Lemonade and Watermelon releases wide in May 2026. No price or specific retail date has been confirmed yet, but check back here for updates as they come.
