G Unit

6000e G Unit

G Unit represents one collection of a larger product line created by Reebok. The G-Unit product line includes athletic clothing and footwear. The collection debuted in 2003 in conjunction with rapper 50 Cent and his Gorilla Unit (G-Unit).

The first G-Unit shoe released by Reebok was the G6. The athletic shoe received promotion in the way of ads and its feature in raps from 50 Cent. The original production run of the G6 sold out in a few days, making it one of the fastest liquidations of a new Reebok shoe.

The G-6 featured lettering on the side and tongue. Features of note were the following:

• Leather uppers
• Synthetic outsoles
• A 1.5-inch heel height

The brand offers athletic, tennis, running, street shoes, and just-above-the-ankle boots in versions sized for men, women, kids, and even toddlers.

The Reebok line had several successful silhouettes and colorways. Some were widely available while others were limited editions in very small numbers. A few notable out of the box G-6 editions include the following:

• G-6 ice
• Black/royal blue G6 for men
• Gabriel Urina limited edition

Reebok offers a system that allows buyers to individualize its footwear. This lets the customer craft a shoe that's one-of-a-kind. Pop-up art galleries surfaced that featured the line prominently. All G-6s are now considered vintage as they turned 10 in 2014.

While in production, the collection produced the apparel listed here:

• Headwear
• Hoodies
• Tanks
• Backpacks and totes

The G-Unit line has discontinued production. During its production era, 50 Cent partnered on its design aspects with artist and clothing designer, Marc Ecko of Ecko Unlimited.

The collections offer numerous styles of T-shirts, the initial fashion specialty of Ecko. These feature graphics related to basketball, baseball, 50 Cent, and G Unit. Many of its items, especially track suits and polo shirts, carry the words "G Unit" written in cursive. Most clothing comes in white, black, red, or grey.

Its men's pants come in waist sizes 30 to 44 inches with inseams ranging from 30 to 36. The men's shirts come in sizes medium to 5XL in regular, and Big 2X to Big 4X in big and tall.

Their women's pants come in waist sizes 28 to 32 or use the standard women's even number sizes 0 to 18. The women's tops come in small to extra large. Its juniors jeans come in odd sizes 1 to 13.
